7/10
A thought provoking film
11 June 2006
Nicely done, with a superb soundtrack, this film surprised me, although I don't know why, since I have yet to see Ed Burns fail in a performance.

I am saddened to see a movie of this caliber not released in theaters, but grateful that I have on Demand, so I was able to catch this touching movie.

One of the things that was excellent about this film was how the landscape was used. A cold, wintery, and sometimes eerie setting provides the backdrop for this suicide (or was it murder)at a boarding school for the well-to-do students. A lot of elements are well done in this movie: Teen Angst, Police cover-ups, relationships, romance, and flashbacks to the lead character's own painful memories.

Overall, a nice movie to curl up on the couch with, and a movie that will keep you thinking about it the next day.
