Terminei esse filme muito triste, realmente ninguém ta preparado pra perder alguém, deixar aquela pessoa importante ir. Mesmo que ela estivesse esperando por um momento para viver que nem uma adolescente comum, ela se arrependeu por não ter se despedido como haviam pedido para ela.

okay! i’m here, i’m back to it. the past month or two i’ve been slacking on watching movies, but i think im now ready to get back into the swing of things. this was a movie that i’ve been wanting to watch for probably the past 6 months but kept procrastinating. i’ve said a bunch how much i love coming of age movies, especially summer/summer camp themed ones. honestly i always loved the movie poster for this movie as well as the name alone so i was excited from just that. but overall i thought it would be a good summer kind of movie that was a fun watch. i say all that to say, i wanted to like this movie. now i’ll be honest and say that i don’t think the coming of age genre always breeds the best acting depending on what you base that on, but it’s something that i think i like because of its flaws in a way. sometimes the things that are considered “bad” in a movie are the reason i like it even more. with this movie, i’m sad to say i don’t feel that way. i think it simply comes down to the fact that i don’t think the good outweighs the bad in this. i love Laura Linney, i love Woody Harrelson, but i don’t think they were given the best opportunity here. and i think that’s the main thing about this movie, is that it has most of the right tools in a sense but everything doesn’t land. the dialogue is amateur, the plot is a little too predictable, and the acting reminded me of AwesomenessTv. there’s a way to have simple plots or even characters or EVEN DIALOGUE and still make it interesting but i didn’t feel that here? i didn’t really feel anything for most of the emotional climaxes, or when something happened to Doris, or anything really. now this isn’t to say that there was nothing i liked. i enjoyed the cinematography and the soundtrack. i even enjoyed the basis of the plot and there’s a few different points of the movie i could point to and tell you i enjoyed it. i think overall it just didn’t come together and i'm mainly disappointed because i feel like it could’ve been so much better, so it’s like wasted potential in a way. a movie like Before I Fallis one that i feel like executed similar things in a much better way, not necessarily plot wise but with relationships, dynamics, emotional moments, and making simple things a little more complex or interesting to watch at least. also crazy Baby Ariel jumpscare??

it made me cry a little. it kind of lacked something though. i wish there were more build-up.
