Last Hours in Suburbia (2012)
A thoughtful drama
I tuned into this movie on Saturday evening and hesitated at first....do I really want to watch this? I deal with kids every day as an educator and it looked like just another teen flick at first, but, it soon caught me up in the emotion of a young girl who is facing prison for decisions made in one night of partying, drinking and driving. I dare say we all know at least one person who has been killed by a drunk driver.
The actors were real in their characters but a couple do stand out: Malara Walsh as the girl who died and Steven A. Miller as the young man who has turned to alcohol to assuage his guilt. I also enjoyed Kelcie Stranahan as Grace.
I hope this movie is viewed by lots of adolescents as a warning of what can happen when decisions are made after drinking and partying.
