The Mental State

This is not a bad movie. Great acting, interesting story and character development. Nice cinematography and music score. Mostly good script.

But the story telling is disjointed. Things that shouldn't have been disclosed are disclosed too early. Parts of the story that should have been made known are told way too late.

Without giving any details away, this is in the vein of a school shooter movie. It is set right around the columbine tragedy.

The human relationships are portrayed very well in this film. But the way in which it is done is not remarkable - the family dynamics are not believable as portrayed.

Slow burn, not terrible story. But impossible to decipher a story arc.
