    Really weird movie, and the plot of the movie was so much more complicated that the short describes. This is not really a movie I would recomment to people. It may appeal to some people's tastes, but it didn't really appeal to mine.

    Although the acting is superb, especially from Miss Rossum, the plot tries too hard to be something its not - an interesting "80's Teen Movie". The ending was ESPECIALLY disappointing. It had all the potential to be movies it lusts after, such as "American Beauty", but you can only do so much with an empty plot and somewhat poorly written script. SO MANY of the characters were underdeveloped. At least we know now that Miss Rossum is more than just a pretty face.... It would be interesting to see what she could do with an adult script. And its also full of that newly trendy (and ridiculous) camera shaking movie making style, which is annoying and difficult to watch. Camera lighting was poor in many scenes as well.

    Yes   |   No
