There was a very attractive moodyness about the direction. But it killed itself at the same time as it moved at a glacial pace with a lot of redundant and dead scenes. Felt signifciantly longer than the running time.
A good feel of these teenagers, due to their age, being dangerous to themselves because of their incomplete thinking. Not to mention mixing alcohol with all that.
A very glaring procedural omission as the investigation did not include a physical exam of the victim or any reasoning why it wasn't done. And not exploring her history with sex or alcohol until the very end.
Although acted very well, the lead vacillated from a genuine 16 year-old to a mid-20s character, basically due to the uneven writing. The actress is likely mid-20s but played a genuine 16 year-old. Also then the reasoning of a mid-20s character. Different voices in the writing.
Essentially it was a waiting game to find out that it was the person I thought was guilty in the beginning. Very anti-climatic and dull. Was surprised that, having a female director and writing, they decided to throw in at the last minute that the victim admitted she liked drinking and being promiscuous.
Now to me it's a given those revelations do not condone taking advantage of any woman or girl. But there was no argument in it. Just facts that had no meaning or consequence. I don't know what that was suppose to tell me.
