The fragmentation lessens the impact
Mila Kunis is always watchable even when she plays a rape victim with lots if bitterness and pain hidden under the facade of a woman about to get married. The rest of the cast is good to with Connie Britton and Finn Wittrock well cast.
The story has both school shooting and rape linked into a pretty grim story. But the fragmentation of the story lessens the impact. Didn't get a good feel of who she was as a teen and the perpetrators. So when the rape happened it felt less harrowing than it should have. The school shooting was quite voyeuristic but didn't felt like it was missing a start and finish. Couldn't figure out who was who.
The reactions of her groom to be and mother were disappointingly unrealistic. Could they be so awful?
Could have been done better if it had been slightly more chronological. - mcrae_k - 19 December 2022
Trailer is false advertising. Awful writing, editing and directing. Avoid!
The trailer for this and Netflix advertising it as a mystery thriller is incredibly misleading. This ended up being a complete waste of two hours. The writing was absolutely atrocious and it honestly felt like a student film from 15 years ago. That is not to say the subject matter is not important and shouldn't be told - it absolutely should. But not like this. I kept waiting for the writing and editing to improve but it didn't. The script and even delivery felt akin to The Room at times, it was that bad. So many storylines that go nowhere or characters that are unlikable and poorly developed. They really underutilized the talented cast and I can't overstate just how awful the writing/script is. The only meaningful message you pull from this, is why did I just waste 2 hours of my life watching it? Avoid at all costs.
