Having watched this film I have to say that I'm disapointed with it. I liked the fact that unknown actors and actresses were used and that they actually used their first names in the film, but the acting (IMHO) didn't seem very realistic at all, but maybe thats because I'm not an American. I didn't really like the camera work, especially the gliding after a character walking down a corridor, that just felt a bit weird to me. Also, later on in the film some of the actions of the characters just didn't make sense. I won't spoil anything here though. ;)
I get the film's impact and of course it does explore a serious issue, but maybe it's just one of those films that are set in a culture you need to have experienced to understand fully. This film is packed full with teenage problems, but it gives a detached view from the characters' actions and feelings and we never really find out why they are the way they are.
Don't let me put you off, it is an ok film, and it's one that you just need to make your own mind up about.
