Jayne Hunt

The acting was mesmerizing. The whole cast, A-1. It was a heartbreaking search into violence of young teenagers. A sad but realistic commentary on life in 2025. Parents have a desire to not be cruel or demanding of their teen and in so doing sometimes the ease of rules and lack of structure lead to uncertain outcomes and tragedy. The film makes the case for parental involvement and boundaries for kids. A society cannot function without an agreement on basic civility and that includes teenagers.

If this is what passes for a great movie, then I’m back to not watching any American movies. Paul G., played himself, as usual. It was trying to be funny and poignant, but was neither. Just boring. Haven’t watched American movies or TV in years but I thought I would give this a try. I was hoping it might be another Robin Williams in “Dead Poets Society”, but, alas, not in the same ballpark.
