I read a lot of positive reviews and decided to see this independent drama (maybe its not indie film, I didn't check, but characters are so annoying that I believe it is).
I didn't finish it. I give it an honest try but dialogues were so unnatural (good actors become bad actors because of the script) and the film was so boring that I had to stop watching after the hour has passed.
I hated all the characters (every one of them was dimensional caricature). I did't even like the boy. OK, he is troubled teenager, but he is so insecure that nothing interesting can happen to him. There is a line in one epic movie, "never go full retard". Same applies for the troubled teenagers. Never go all the way.
Why do people like this film so much? Is it because it is indie? I saw a lot of indie films that received good reviews and were terrible. I saw also some great ones, but they are minority - this isn't just problems with independent cinema, it is hard to make a good film so maybe this review is a bit malicious, but I was so annoyed that I just had to write this.
