i couldn not relate to this film . i be surprise that people be laud it for be so realistic . how many people at your school be victim to incest . how many closet homosexual jock be there . how many quiet people that you never notice committed suicide . hmmm . ok you wouldn not know even if their be . but really these be explosive problem which many u never deal with . and yet there be so many teenager with subtle problem which could have be explore . but hey and where the entertainment in that . with regard to the girl who commit suicide i find this to be exploitative . i actually think many people in high school at some stage feel invisible and ignore and unwanted . but what possess someone to violently commit suicide on just another day of be ignore and unnoticed . the filmmaker decide this girl would suicide to make the film more provocative . and the graphic nature of the suicide to make it even more provocative . i do not buy it a a real life scenario . and the problem of the other student i do not fully relate to . bullying be explore but that be do to death and we all know it go on and it truly be a matter of resolve within that person . closet homosexuality . pfft and another cliché get roll out . thats the thing really and too many clichés . i guess the end at the start . there be a predictable unpredictability if that make sense . you have get all these character with explosive problem and and one with apparently none . and i thought and what be the point of this character unless she the unsuspecting suicide victim . and surely enough . one thing i will say and and it be the save grace of the film and be that it do not glamourise suicide . the suicide be very graphic and heart breaking to watch . it be a powerful scene ( regardless of how contrived it be ) and one that dismiss suicide a the easy option . but the film be really not very imaginative and used stereotype . not bad but certainly not groundbreaking or worthy of a 17 minute stand ovation at cannes .
