  1. I rate this title iffy for age 14 and give it 3.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content

    perfect for older teens

    to much sexual content

  2. I rate this title on for age 16 and give it 3.0

    I actually liked it.

    I admit, this movie was confusing the first time I watched it. Friends have asked me to explain, and now that they get it, they like it too. Aside from the switching from past to present most of the time, the story is actually interesting and kept me watching. I wouldn't call it a thriller, but the entire movie is mysterious and you must watch it from beginning to end to understand it! The ending was beautiful!

    Please Don't Watch

    This movie simply was not very good. The entire premise of the movie was ridiculous- it took place in the modern day, yet miraculously, none of the characters had cell phones! Of course, this would have meant that the movie would have only taken up about half an hour. In addition to this, most of the scenes were seen several times in the points of view of different characters. It became exhausting after a while to have to see the same things over and over and over and over... you get the point. Don't pay to see this movie- it just isn't worth it.
