A film that leaves you thinking for days after you're done watching it. The concept of the film is so powerful that it fails to not leave you intrigued and wondering for a duration that is much longer than one hour thirty minutes. It successfully captures the demons that haunt everyone's life and ultimately leaves you wondering that which demon would claim its prey. There are characters you might like and sympathize with and there are characters you would outrightly hate but every character falls so perfectly well in the story. A grossly underrated coming of age film. As a viewer I feel fortunate to have watched it and learn so much in the process of its running. It is a brilliant piece, a great debut for the director and one film that should not be missed for sure. 17 minutes standing ovation at Cannes-every minute is so well deserved.

To be honest, I didn't like the film so much. According to me, There were bad things. For example, the cut back to the scene was unnecessary. All of us knew the first cut and we understood the explanation from Melody that her brother touched her before, but she didn't say anything. (But we didn't get the explanation for some of the scenes.) Her brother touched her every time and I think that she must have said something about this situation. Besides them, there were good things. One of them is that the storyline was nice and the actors and actresses were real and they played very well. But their characters in the film were not soul. That's, they were a bit nonsense. We can say that the film is dramatic and maybe it makes you cry. In short, as I said at the top of the text, I didn't like so much. However, do you suggest this film if you ask me, I can say that No. I don't suggest.

It's one of the best Australian Films I have seen in recent years. I shall start with a confession. Actually, I do not want to watch this film. But my teacher said that you must watch this film.So, I started to watch.The story takes place during a normal school day. It starts off with a suicide. at 2:37pm. The movie gives an insight into what unfortunately is everyday life for a lot of school kids. It shows us the "dark side" of high school - in other words every side of high school. Some of us live outside that environment and would walk by and not know what is happening. I think, our parents must watch this film, too. However, Some scenes are a little hard to watch
. It was a pleasure to see it .I applaud the fabulous casting of this film. We often watch troubled American children but often fail to understand. Because we I see, there is no problem in their life. . These are the stories of real kids. This film that leaves a big impact on its' viewers. The film sounds incredible. Ultimately, it's a beautiful made, but slightly disturbing look at teenage life. I wish, they show us some teenage's good sides.

This film was dedicated to movie maker's friend. These events can be in every school; especially in high schools. Because, students are many problems during their adolescences. They can be very stressful, aggressive and sad. Every person encounters these problems. If there is not anyone who deals with their problems, they can be out of the control like in this film. So, their families, teachers or relatives should save them from a dangerous world. There is a popular boy like in every high school film. In this film, it was Luke. Firstly, I guessed that Sean is a murder who looks at Luke. Sean must have been jealous of Luke's girlfriend whose name is Melody. Sean would kill him. But, it was not like this. He was a gay who likes Luke. There is a boy who wets himself. He cannot control himself whose name is Steven. He is so shy because of his situation. He has no friend except of Kelly. Kelly is so helpful girl. Kelly's brother is also have problems. Kelly has a new life with her brother. His name is Marcus. He is a pervert. Because of this event, Kelly killed herself. It had an unhappy ending. This film made me pessimist. I will be an teacher. This film showed me that I have to take a big responsibility. So, I like this film even if there have a lot of disgusting things.Hatice Şahin
