Confessions d'une ado diabolique

I read the reviews after watching. The actresses playing mother and daughter are close in age. It didn't bother me, although there was a close-up of Maddie once, and I thought she looked far older than 17.

I felt sorry for the teacher. I don't think they showed him getting his job back at the end.

My main issue was with the ending. I loved the beginning. Mean girl Sasha ruled the school, and newcomer Kelly decided to take her down a peg after Sasha outed her foster family as a recipient of Habitat for Humanity assistance. The "#SuckItSasha" part was fun.

Danny's premeditated death was somewhat justifiable, but a girl as streetwise as Kelly should have called the police on someone like that. The other death was a tragic accident.

Overall, I liked the movie, but the ending felt unfair. Maddie waited days to come forward about the accident, so her happily-ever-after prom ending felt unearned. And there was no resolution for Kelly at all. I think the story needed a different ending, perhaps showing Maddie's mom visiting Kelly in juvenile detention and reaffirming her forgiveness, concern, and support.

I was reading some reviews and just needed to rebut a few comments

Firstly, lifetime movies don't demonise people who have had bad lives/mental illness etc. However in most movies when there is a villain there is some reason behind it. People who are mentally well or have great lives, don't just go around killing people.

Secondly, the age gap was not noticeable to me. I actually thought the main actress was young. I would have never guessed 32.

Thirdly, the movie does show some bad decisions by the characters. Especially the end of the movie when the bf throws his phone into the water for solidarity lol. But overall the movie was enjoyable. It's not going to win any awards it's not deserving of those 1 Star reviews.

At least the storyline is right for what I expect. A psycho teen which her background logicalize her behavior. A tragedy happened in order to protect herself makes a plan from her. Story itself content is rich enough to me. Don't know why so negative reviews here.

The high school girl is a 32 year old actress. The girl that plays her mother is only 7 years older than her in real life.

This is crazy you cant actually hire a kid to play a kid. I understand when they get a young 20 yr old because maybe the content is too sexual but a 30 year old is streaching it pretty far.

First off, I have a "beef" with Laura Wiggins for the antics she pulled as Karen Jackson on Shameless. Lol Beef aside though, she's a good actress and this was a pretty decent movie. Especially for Lifetime. It had it's dumb character moments. I mean, can ANY teen say no to a peer with a stupid plan? But overall, it was less idiotic than most of the movies I've seen on Lifetime. As for the people griping about the main character and her mom only having a 7 year age difference IRL, grow up! It's not like Laura Wiggins LOOKS 32! She actually looks like she could be a teenager! The movie was pretty good. Just watch it for the story and u might be pleasantly surprised.
