About

You may like this if you want tense teen drama built around mystery tapes and heavy emotions, but Not for you if you’re sensitive to portrayals of suicide or sexual violence, or if you prefer less extreme titles like Wind River or Disclaimer.

Pros: strong suspense; strong acting; important theme | Cons: uneven writing; too melodramatic; includes disturbing content
