Selah and the Spades

When I saw the trailers of the movie, I thought this would be an Euphoria style drama with boarding school drama. However I was quite mistaken. This movie turned out to be more rush job thrown in drama. For me it felt like more of the bones for a great series then a fully flush movie, where you can see a clear plot point and understanding ending. Instead you get more question of why this and how that. I mean the story seems good but you left empty handed really bad.

But where was the end?? I don't feel like the story was finished. I'm still not even sure what happened.

I think there was a something holding me back from totally engaging in this movie despite the great production elements. I think it was brought down by a familiar story that really didn't "pop" or distinguish itself. I think the director has great potential though.

I forgot how hard it was to just BE in high school. This was a beautiful reminder that it only takes a second to make a bad decision. Lol heck-to make a good one too. Great movie!

The only way I see it - it's a movie for Children perhaps young teenagers who have imagination running wild.

Children when they are 9 or 10 see 17 year old youngsters as adults. They seem smart, powerful and tricky. However they still remain teenagers, not adults.

I do see this film as somewhat appealing towards young audiences especially for children who have older brothers and sisters whose life seems mysterious and fun.

This is a movie about nothing but a fantasy world, nothing real about it.

It's an interesting idea, and I see this film gaining popularity among children who are tired of watching cartoons all day long.

Suitable for Children and young teenagers, target audience is 9 to 13. For the rest of the audience this might be a waste of time unfortunately.
