Good After Bad

I thought this movie was going to be about something completely different. It is a beautiful story, and a new favourite of mine.

... entire cast makes this wonderful production work... from the two leads down, every cast member pulls weight... Maddie Hasson ripping doors off with her portrayal of Shelly... Maddie is gorgeous and she's multi-talented... and should right now have several works in varying stages of production were the world on the right track

... not yet a thousand people have rated this movie.. of those that have, 18 to 29 year-olds rated it the best.. nearly a 9-rating - that's huge... sure it ticks off all the boxes stereotypical of the genre.. yet ALL the actors make this very enjoyable film worth watching again-n-again.

No pun intended there - it is one of the titles the movie has. It actually can be found under that title if you search for it here. That being said, the movie has good and bad in it. As any good movie should have (although of course bad movies contain those things too). Apart from this very vague statement, what can you expect here? An inspiring story I'd say and a movie that has a perfect role for Billy Burke.

Why do I say that? Because he can play that role and we can interpret so much based on the roles he has played before. If that means we are right about him or his character to be more specific is a whole different story. He also is not the main character here. A bullied student is - one that has a troubled house to return to too ... it's not easy if you can not rely on your parents. Or anyone to give you the confidence you need.

A really good drama and a movie that is more than well made and acted.

It's not the worst movie out there but it isn't the best either. One of the ways I judge movies is if I can tell the characters are acting; when the acting is so good you forget it's a movie/series until it ends because you're sort of immersed into the world created by the movie. But the actors in here try so hard to act. I don't think it would have been a great movie with this plot but if the actors tried to act more natural and work on the chemistry a little more it would have been better movie.

Don't get me wrong it's watchable,if you're bored with nothing else to do on a Sunday, it's an good way to spend your afternoon, just that it's one of the movies you forget about afterwards. It's just about better than a mediocre film.

This is gripping and emotional. I haven't seen a movie like this. Strong characters, actual depiction of life stages and beautifully articulated social perceptions.
