Saving Zoë

The saddest part of this movie is even though this is fiction this actually is happening every day to children all over this demented world.

This movie takes you on a road to discovery to uncover why a teenager has died, which sounds familiar because it's the same exact plot as 13 reasons why but it replaces suicide with murder. The movie falls flat in trying to keep audiences' attention, and the graphic horrific scenes were not needed in the movie because viewers could have imagined the horrific video that was being watched by the protagonist (aka, Echo). The acting also fell flat which was a shame because it was such a dramatic film that you needed excellent acting to do justice to the script.

I liked the movie, the story held up but something was missing. It felt like the actors were inexperienced or new to filming. Some scenes seemed and were stiff or emotionless in some way. If the actors were more experienced it would have been a 10

Surprisingly excellent. Great performances that made the characters real, living people warts and all. Also a good mystery involving an ugly topic. Two thumbs up for teens up to 99.

I enjoyed it, mostly. It's a little slow going but it's a pretty good story. Kind of a sad movie, especially once you find out how everything went down. Fair warning and without revealing any major spoilers, the how and why of the story is ultimately pretty disturbing. I think it's worth a watch if you like mystery and drama movies though.
