Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/22/24 Full Review Jaedyn B Definitely a heart wrenching movie. The build up was great. Jenna Ortega really captured the moments of a teen in this generation coping with situations like this. Also a great ending just to show the reality of it all.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/22/24 Full Review Cara H Great film super enlightening Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Vince V To get it out of the way, Jenna Ortega's performance was truly phenomenal, as it usually is, but this definitely stands out in her slowly growing repertoire. The cinematography is absolutely beautiful, this film is slow-paced and so there's a lot of closeups, wide scopes and overhead shots and it all looks amazing, and never gets boring to look at, minus the story, which I'm getting to now. This film presents a good idea, the aftermath of a school shooting, a touchy subject. I think they treated the school shooting part well, but the aftermath is the kicker here. The only problem with this movie is that the entire premise is over in the first 5 minutes. The movie then spends an hour and a half with teenagers doing normal stuff. Sure, there's PTSD, but we lose almost all traces of PTSD within the first 30 minutes. The movie then becomes a professionally recorded 80s home video laced with mild romance. You know back then, you go around with the camera and record people doing normal things for fun. That's what the rest of this movie is. We see Jenna Ortega brush her teeth, take a bath, swim, drink wine, eat food, do drugs, scroll on Instagram, watch YouTube, be driven around, sit uncomfortably, sleep, all multiple times. It's just an amalgamation of normal 16 year old life, a very well produced chronicle of Gen Z culture, for sure, but that's not why I was watching the movie. The story is simply stagnant for a seemingly never-ending time. By the end of the film, minus the very last scene, the idea that these kids are school shooting survivors and are meant to be going through trauma is nonexistent. I've seen trauma before, and it sure doesn't look like sexual relationships. In other words, I really do feel that all of this, while wonderfully created, has nothing to do with what the film is attempting to accomplish and detracts from the themes it strived to create in the first quarter of its runtime, which, admittedly, is on the shorter side, around an hour and a half, but it's truly a mundane hour and a half. Not the greatest drama movie by any means but worth seeing if you're into modern drama or teen films or any of Ortega's work, as I said before, one of her best roles here.
