So it turns out this is a polarizing movie. Personally I kinda see why but also I kinda don't- then again, I also thought Busy Philipps was pretty good in it & apparently that's a very hot take. I liked it a lot. It didn't need to be over two hours long, & sometimes the melodrama is too overdone, but on the whole I found it smart, sweet, & sentimental without going over the top. Solid performances, decent pacing, & a good message. Didn't love the "goth people are all traumatized fuckups" bit.

"An uncompromising look at lives in crisis and the redemptive power of friendship." Whoever wrote the summary may not have watched the movie. Or may have been out of their senses while watching it. Or might have compromised to add to its appeal (for reasons I know not).

Film has the noblest of intentions, and starts out reasonably well, but falls flat and goes on far too long by exploring other social issues in addition to the topic of school shootings. Performances (from the adults especially) are surprisingly mediocre, save Philipps and Christensen who do bring some life to their characters, but are not helped by a screenplay bathed in cliche.

Tries to tackle the problem of school shootings but falls short. Very, very, very short. Busy Philipps is also in this and she's a terrible actress. There's no reason to see this movie.
