About
You may like this if you want a tense, guilt-driven teen drama about grief and moral conflict, as seen in You Can Count on Me or Igby Goes Down; Not for you if slow pacing, overlong stories, or an unlikeable main character irritate you.
Pros: emotionally intense; strong acting; compelling guilt | Cons: slow, rambling; messy direction; uneven, overlong
