Life is messy. Hollywood endings are for those that can't handle a movie that exposes the narcisitsic pathology of bullies and the damage the cause to people that deserve better. Nor there own pettiness when they engender when they encourage there peers to pile on like thoughtless animals.

My opinion---

I saw this Canadian drama well directed by: "Yan England", this film falls into a category of already seen, with a scenario that can be said is really not original at all, that is to say The persecution in some schools of a pupil where several pupils by one or more other pupils with a sadistic or racist mentality and even very violent sowing terror on the student or pupils concerned suffer a real hell and their Life becomes dramatic. The cause is often due to either a physical aspect or a racist or sexist cause, in this case the suspicion of a student's homosexuality, and hence all the excesses (violence and abuse) Then a real journey of the combatant begins, often without many issues for this or these, hence the dramas. For this, the film tries to demonstrate the purpose of these cases of misfortune, the painful life that these students face in front of ruthless executioners. We must especially note the excellent performance of: Antoine-Olivier Pilon in the role of Tim. Conclusion, the film lets see without problem, is already good.

Great cast, even the concept was nice, but a missed opportunity for sure. Bully, LGBT, there were lots of things the film highlighted, but did not choose the right path to ride on with. Everything was overshadowed by the negatives. When I was watching the film, I was very uncomfortable throughout. Because I have kept anticipating the best things to take over at any time, but that never came. Even the sport part was kind of incomplete. The film was a fiction, but even partially that's how things happen in Canada, then Canada is too far behind from all the western world.

The film should have been an inspiring tale, or at least an awareness tale. It was a gay theme, though not a romance film. An eleventh grade Tim is avoiding his sexual identity to escape the embarrassment, particularly from the school bullies. But it's too late now, which cost him a big. As a response, he takes a challenge. And now he needs to prove his sexuality, but not everything goes as he had planned. The remaining story takes a crucial twist where everything comes to halt suddenly.

Yeah, I think that sudden ending is not convincing. Especially after too many turns in the story development, I actually was expecting the best way to conclude. So not everybody would be happy with that part. Though it was not a bad idea, only they did not make it in a better way. The title too was a little diversion, from prediction. So don't expect, everything's going to be fine kind of film. More like I felt it is made for sadist mindset people. Because you can't encourage such film, particularly its contents which makes unease most of the time.

4/10

...life. everything. people. hate. sacrifice. many words define this film who is more a feeling but a story. sure, at first sigh, too many. but , after a time, you discover it as a sort of cry. or a mirror reflecting yours frustrations. it is an useful film. and one of interesting frescoes of contemporany society. that is all. a teenager. and his life. decisions. and a gesture as end of circle.nothing more.

A strong first direction for England, offering a dark but efficient movie. Hard to watch because of how reflective it is of the social network era for teenagers.

Please don't waste your time... one of the worst films I have ever seen in my entire life....

Just saw this movie last night and I had low expectatations. It could have been so much more. They had so much potential to make something great but we are just left out with another poor movie with terrible clichés...

During the movie, everything is over the top. No one ever hides someone else in a locker. NO ONE DOES THAT EXCEPT IN THE MOVIES. Also the fact that ALL THE SCHOOL hates homosexuals except this one girl.. I mean come on this isn't 1984 anymore. This movie has a bunch of great themes like peer pressure, homosexuality, bullying, suicide, depression... and so on. They had such a good cast but some the dialogues are so terrible. I wish Xavier Dolan made this movie, it probably would have been so much better.

Don't watch this movie. It's bad.. really I could have watched something a lot better.

The movie is not as terrible as people make it sound. The ending is terrible and it belongs to a "very special episode" from the 80s, but overall the movie is entertaining if you don't pay attention to how dumb adults seem to be and if you are prepared to moustache-twirling villains.

I also need to give kudos to denny321 who manages to trash the movie while sharing some casual (internalized?) homophobia of his own describing "queenish" looks vs the "butch" main actor and also some racism while talking about Guatemala and Iran. Let's hope all of us in Central America get to be as enlightened as you are, especially on this forums.
