I just finished this film. It was beautiful. I think the people who left one-star reviews didn't really sit down and take the time to watch it. It's the subtle things you need to see to understand what Alice is really going through. She is battling herself and the self she thinks she needs to be for Simon. It's a really powerful movie about what abuse can do to a person and how powerful friendship can be. Anna Kendrick and the other cast members did a great job portraying these characters. 5/5
