Heartthrob

The first act is so great.

Even the second act starts so well...

There is so much earnest acting here, it's really depressing how far south this goes. Gilchrist's acting is certainly solid.

And it really goes so far off the rails, its surreal. It's not implausible it goes where it goes, but sheesh....

Featured Movie, Cute, Very Smart Dialogues, I loved it. The script is deep in a beautiful way.

All around pretty solid movie, well acted, shot, edited, etc. Some might not care for the direction the plot takes in the second half, but I found it quite engaging. While it did require some suspension of disbelief at times, it wasn't immersion-breaking imo.

A nice little film enjoyed it but I have to say the ending was bad writing could of been better but overall I enjoyed it for what it is.

I saw the Atypical show on Netflix and it made me watch this movie.

With a potentionally interesting script it is poorly executed. Keir Chilchrist (Henry) is pretty good as MIT-student-to-be and strubbling with the first love in his life. He is good enough to be convincing toch be the twisted boyfriend. But also kind enough to be the good guy he also is.

But the leading girl (Sam) is a lot less convinsing. She supposted tot be the popular girl but I don't buy it for a second. But that is the least of the problems.

Like said by people before. The script is bad. A lot of things just don't add up and the conclusion does not make any sense. Actions of characters seem to have no consequences for others than themselfs. It looks like characters are so naïef but suprisingly they get away with everything.

The ending is so bizarre that I don't know what tot think about any character.

I would watch a different movie.
