One of the worst movies I've ever seen

OK… I am not particularly proud of it, but I had such a boring experience watching this thing I actually created an account just to post this review.

This movie is awful. I just can't believe that anyone could have actually enjoyed it, and get something out of it.

It is one of the most boring, over-played, pompous movie I have ever seen. It is just a pathetically elongated drama who tries very very, very hard to be a metaphorical display of big obnoxious pseudo-intellectual themes, seasoned with an overdose of teenagers hormones and unhappiness. Death, suffering, guilt, absurdity of life, guilt, every big human unanswerable question thrown at the face of this unbearable brat who screams all the time instead of just go and sign for 20 years of therapy or shoot herself. Problem is, Shakespearian drama without the drama… is just a boring overrated portray of a troubled teen.

I suspect the intentions of the filmmakers were to make the viewers think "oooh poor thing, it must be hard to live after such a trauma; yes it is difficult to grow and make life-changing decisions, etc." instead, I just wanted the main character to throw herself under the next bus.

I waited desperately for something interesting to happen, for a twist that would make this whole nonsensical agitation more than a big waste of time… but no. If you are not 13 and right in the middle of "everything is so important I scream all the time and think I am gonna die if you dare contradict me, my life is so miserable you know…", you better pass on this one
