Intense reminder of the pressures of high school

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!

I love Ana and all....

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

Been done before but better!

The whole movie I felt like this familiar story has been done better in other movies and series. And just kind of unbelievable. Good acting but story needs more development.

Not what I expected

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.

When Paloma put her headphones on Selah (at 17:33) the cord is on Selah's left side but a few seconds later (at 17:45) the cord is on her right side.
