It seems that every movie will have dysfunctional lead characters who possess the communication skills of an= brick. Children who cannot relate to their own family and especially when they have family members who are being supportive. And what's with this constant parade of female characters that for reasons unknown happen to make bad choice after bad choice time and time again?

I can get the drama part of entertainment, but what I get tired of, is the stupidity that we see as a staple for most movies out here. Oh and this was quite predictable and the only redeeming factor was that he didn't have sex with this child. What I don't get is how if she had his confession of being under the influence of alcohol, why didn't she tell the investigator what she knew and especially since this information could bring about justice for her parents???

Could have been better if some realism were ever written into it. Four star is all I will give this and youy can blame it on the wriers and the director.

Thanks God there are movies like this one! I'm sick and tired of all those cheap, predictable stories where special effects are more important than the actual script. It also made me more receptive to classical music. I admit it's a little bit heavy and dark and dramatic at times, but hey... all great stories are! A girl would love it anyways. Emo/goth teens too. It's a well-done art movie where actors did their job as they are suplosed to and the atmosphere is very distinctive, special and personal. Maximum value for your time and a valuable life lesson for those willing to learn.
