Basically a copy of Elephant but with themes of suicide instead of homicide.

In the same ballpark as Brick and especially Elephant it deals with the less Musically aspects of High School. Though condense with teenage stereotypes and some pretty contrived twists, it's neatly structured and the final "what really happened" sequence is both well executed and rough

A very effective film with dramatic results and one that will easily stay with you long after you've watched it. It tackles some very serious issues that are very confronting, but pulled off very nicely by a strong cast and Thalluri's great script and directing style. You really feel for the six main characters and get really involved in their stories. Its also very unpredictable with the final result definitley not one that anyone would expect. Overall it really is quite a brilliant film.

Tries too hard. I really didn't empathize with any of the characters either.

Emonationally superficial teenage trauma/misbehaviour -exploitation that relies heavily on its everyday shock value performed by everyday teens - let alone the whole movie is carried by one-trick-pony and ridiculous plot twist.

i do wish it was better, but i mean that affectionately

Could have been much better, but it was still very good, although a bit predictable. But just a little bit. I really liked the message of the movie.

"While a strong debut, here%u2019s hoping Thalluri%u2019s next film will have a more nuanced script and see him find his own directorial style."

Excessive resemblance with "Elephant" bothers.
