Not a review but more like a response to all the hate this movie is getting.
I get why this wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, but it's really not horrible.
1. The Main Character- Possibly what confused a lot of people. I agree, the main character is confusing. But that's just how a person in that scenario would be in real life. He's a fifteen year old kid who's determined to remain in the play as it's a huge opportunity for him, but at the same time, he's being bullied brutally. He's torn between two sides.
2. Killing of the teacher- That's the ending. The killing isn't pointless. If the teacher was alive, the bullies wouldn't have to face harsh consequences. It's only because of his death that they got charged with murder. Also, it's a disturbing ending. Not horrible.
3. The TONE- It's a dark movie. Deal with it. Not every boarding school movie has to be about crushing on students and winning a race. It's grounded to reality. It's about bullying. It's disturbing. There's this one review which called this movie sadist. Sorry to say, not every dark movie is 'sadist'.
