The character development was beautiful! I understand the main character very well and also relate to the main character. I like the way everything slowly revealed itself in a nice burn. It very nicely portrays the way the main character is going insane through his hallucinations. The acting was on point, I could see the wonderful display of emotions layed out for us. Thank you for giving us such wonderful views. The cinematography was beautiful!!! I'd love to see more movies that are as wonderful as this one was! I know it was likely really cold while filming, so it must have token a bit to make along with covid being in the way. Anyways, wonderful job! Keep at the good work!

This is not a great movie. I might call it decent if I could latch onto something in it that made it that way, but the story itself feels derivative of things like school shootings in general, and maybe a little bit of "We Need to Talk About Kevin," but not nearly as engaging as that film. In addition, the overall message of the film was bad, and I'm not even sure what kind of audience the film is aimed at, or what the message was supposed to be. School shootings are bad? Stalking is bad? A lack of mental health will get you killed eventually? People who have mental health issues will eventually grab a gun and if not actually go to school and start shooting, at least LOOK like they're going to? Religion doesn't REALLY care about you unless you have the money? That's why I say the message was bad -- there seem to be several messages going on at once, none of them engaging, surprising, or helpful. I think anyone under 25 or so would be rolling their eyes for most of the film, and anyone over 25 wouldn't really GET anything out of it. No matter what audience this was supposed to be for, I can't recommend it to anyone. 3 stars for the effort.

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.
