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.

Movie night with Iris.

Rough around the edges tale of high school hostile cliques. It has hints of Catcher in the Rye. And has to be applauded fro a black, female dominance.

There is a stylised, numbness throughout. Indeed it doesn't really lead anywhere. The film has an interesting take on what high school is really like - not the Hollywood coming-of-age drama. School is dull and messy, like everything else in real life.

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.

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.

I thought it was very cute. not that realistic in terms of what high school is like but good acting
