Me and 2 of my friends all agree on a few things about this: 1) The lack of plot and substance for the characters really make this movie feel bland and renders all interactions extremely forced 2) The romanticization of self harm is very distasteful 3) This movie tried really hard to be deep and artistic, but, again, just came out super forced. Nothing seemed natural.
We were all watching it together - one friend was trying really hard to stay awake and we just sat there kind of rolling our eyes the entire time. We had to quit it half way because of the scene where they decided to cut themselves together. It just left such a bad taste in our mouths. I decided to finish watching it on my own and it didn't get better. It felt like almost nothing happened in this movie - the most character development happened in the last 20 minutes and even that had a time gap of 2 years. I had really high hopes for this - it looked full of potential and I was super excited about the LGBT representation (in a movie from my country, like, wow!!), but was kind of left disappointed - it just was not executed well. Maybe I missed the point of the movie? The message it was trying to get across? Whatever the case, it wasn't the most enjoyable thing I've seen. I'm sad I feel about it this way.
At least every shot was very pretty.
