Dismal, depressing movie
Not for anyone under 17. This movie, though told in an unusual and interesting way, is dark and upsetting. Although the acting is good, none of the characters are likeable.
- I rate this title iffy for age 17 and give it
This movie encompasses almost every tragic situation that could ever happen in life. This film is very intense, and depressing. Three lives come together in a tragic turn of events and is a rollercoaster of heartbreak. If you don't want to be depressed for the rest of the day, do not see this film, it is not for the lighthearted.
