There's something said in the movie that summarizes this movie perfectly: We have made a lot of mistakes, but I'm really glad we did it. Yeah, I butchered the quote, but I thought it fitted well. I really liked what this movie tries to say. Yes, it makes some mistakes. The third act is a bit messy. It kinda feels like it completely forgot what it was trying to say, but picked it up again after a while. It also is a bit awkward with the way the teens speak. I'm a teen myself and I have never heard someone say: 'That's rad!' But I have to admit, it was really nice to see these girls stand up for themselves. The 'villain' of the movie is a bit too much in my opinion, but there are people in this world like him. There are human being who behave like that, and it's really uplifting to see the girls unit. I actually stood up at the end speech because I felt what these girls have been trough. The movie is really cleverly written, and it makes it so that we really start to care for a girl that we don't know. I just leave this movie with a very positive feeling and I hope there are teens out there who will feel inspired.

Really enjoyed the film. Lots of good messages.

Nice to have teens growing up watching films like this, getting them to think and have discussions on important matters aswell as being a feel good film.

Good intentions, but I think it falls flat because of the genre confusion and cringy writing. My biggest let down was that, sadly, this movie doesn't walk the walk itself. It's filled with double standards. It talks about not judging women by their appearances, but then has a slo-mo shot of the "good guy" pulling up his shirt while skating, as the main female characters drool. It doesn't address how good guy Seth is also being portrayed as a hero, while litteraly just behaving like a normal human being. That would have been a great way to show how women have to be extraordinary in order to be noticed, but men are celebrated for being civil. A lot of the characters are extremely cliché and cringy and I agree that this movie doesn't really work outside of the US. As a European it's hard to connect with this genre - the mix between a serious topic and a light vibe doesn't feel like a success with this movie. I recommend that you watch "Unbelievable" instead.

Well acted, well directed, and was able to show true intersectional feminism in the many complicating forms that it deserves.

The soundtrack is killer and it covers so many topics at the surface level that may excite the audience to dig in deeper with some of these topics. Definitely a movie for now, and if you're interested in watching a movie that tackles these issues in a well produced, highly entertaining, and informative then I would highly recommend this one.

I just watch this movie today. My thoughts in general are that this movie is a relatively good movie. While I did not feel like I related to this movie with my own high school experience three years ago, I know others who would probably say otherwise. This movie gets a really thinking about things, and if there are schools that have become just as toxic as the one shown the movie which is entirely possible, then this movie holds some truth and reality. There are people who will knock this movie saying it's just the classic crazy feminism(the type that says all men are bad and and doesn't shout equality), but this movie I think hits on point of the right type of feminism that promotes unity and respect, and equal treatment of women who don't get heard when they speak up.
