Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Having joined a recently created video club, a lowly prep-school sophomore - desensitized from reality by frequently viewed Internet imagery - accidentally captures on video the final moments of admired twin senior classmates dying from poisoned drugs. Rather than galvanize the school or this lad's life in any profound or meaningful way, the tragedy causes barely a ripple in the already emotionally diminished and out-of-touch lives of everyone around.

Trivia
In one of the early scenes in Rob's dorm room, a poster on the wall near the door says "DO YOU FEEL - new album." This poster is for an album by the popular alternative one-man music project headed by pop-rocker Bryce Avary known as The Rocket Summer. "Do You Feel" was The Rocket Summer's third full-length album and was released in 2007. See more »Quotes

The storyline is quite good and has potential to produce a riveting film, unfortunately though it was let down by the directors attempt at emulating Gus Van Sant, in which he failed miserably. On top of this, the 'artsy' cinematography does nothing but distance the viewer from the characters and criminally avoids frontal shots of Ezra Miller's sublime face. I was close to turning it off at various stages. The 3 stars I give this film go toward: 1) The casting of Ezra Miller 2) The writer 3) Three particular scenes; One of which drew out a belly flush. Only if you are a fan of Ezra Miller would I recommend you suffer the monotony of this film, and only then for the three scenes I refer to.
