A story very similar to the one told in a new movie (The Son, 2022): parents who are not present for their son. Also, in this case, a teenager who is bullied at school and does not want to return to real life.
He takes refuge in a virtual world on the Internet that, in my opinion, is extremely well done for a 2006 film. I think I would have liked to see more scenarios from the supposed video game than from Dominike's real life.
And the comparison I make with "The Son" seems important to me to point out that there are ways to better portray depression in male adolescents, there always have been, this is a good representation! And unlike this new film that I mention, in "Suicide Room" there is no ending where an element (gun) shown at the beginning of the film is used. It has an expected ending, but at first you may think that they are giving you all the clues about how that ending is going to happen, and it turns out that they are not.
What I liked least was the color scheme of the story in real life (not the video game, the video game was great). It is as if the film had a filter over it, the colors look dark and opaque. I also didn't like that they showed Dominike's last moments. I think it would have been better if they ended with her mother's speech.
