I don't get it. I understand the concept of a "slice of life" movie, but this is only half a slice. The two major threads of the movie are both left hanging and completely unresolved.
The result is something that leaves me with no feeling of closure and a doubt that anything meaningful happened. If that was the intent, I have to say, "Why bother?" If it wasn't, then this is an epic fail.
The acting by the young actors is good and the side theme of the lead's home life is reasonably fleshed out and raise the score a couple of stars, but these don't solve the overall problem. This movie definitely needed another 15 minutes to wrap at least one of the threads up.
