Based on a novel by Rachel Klein about a
high school boarding school for girls.
Rebecca has been struggling for two years with the suicide of her
father; her mother has struggled also.
Her best friend is Lucy, she has helped Rebecca with her depression and
helped her though classes. It’s
the third year and all the students are excited about seeing each other
again. There is a new student this
year, Ernessa. Rebecca becomes
very upset when Lucy is always sticking up for Ernessa and always wanting to be
with her. Rebecca feels the loss of her best friend and she starts to fall
back into her struggle with depression.
There is a lot more going on here than
teen friendships but not enough is going on. I wonder if this is a take-off the Twilight films due to their
popularity but this very calm, low-key and short, just slightly creepy. 3* (This movie is OK)
82 min, Suspense directed by Mary
Harron with Lily Cole, Sarah Bolger, Scott Speedman, Sarah Gadon, Judy Parfitt,
Melissa Farman, Laurence Hamelin.
Note: Blockbuster 1 ½*, imdb 4.8 out of 10, 13% critic 23% audience
on Rotten Tomatoes.
