I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Blistering performances.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I think this Australian film has to be one of deepest and darkest drama films I've seen.This film is brilliant, an excellent as the story, but you will absolutely find it shocking and disturbing.The beginning scene showed that someone committed suicide at 2:37 pm in school, but don't tells me who did die, so the story begins tells from the start of the day, there are 6 main teen characters (Teresa Palmer's character is one of them). All these main characters had own personal problems, and it will make you wonder who one of these will kill himself at the end.It has terrible life stories and dark secrets, but this is what high school is like for many people. It's like the movie of the show "13 Reasons Why" from the 2000s.In the fact, Teresa Palmer was discovered on the street and cast in this movie without an audition and without ever having acted before. She was obviously the reason why I watched it lol. She gave a superb performance and her character had the darkest story.

I've never been so riled by a movie as this one- probably mainly because I've heard all Thalluri's pretentious comments that have gone with it in regard to its potential to save lives. In regard to the actual movie itself, I found the characters so 2 dimensional and chichedie, the 'cheerleader' was bulimic, the 'jock' was gay, the 'nerd' wet his pants (there is no talent in 'creating' such stereotypes)- and the movie didn't even begin to actually explore any depth to any of them, just simply presented the problems and 'suprised' us all by hysterically suiciding the one with the least screen time. I was personally annoyed by the gay themes- it was exactly as I imagine someone with no idea would think the struggle with coming to terms wit!h one's homosexuality would be like- the character locking himself in the closet with furious self-loathing was just hilarious! Overall, I think the entire movie was a beautifully packaged presentation of a rubbish script from someone without a scrap of insight to the very serious issues it attempted to tackle. (-And I agree with 'Boonda's comments on the 'lucky' statement at the end)

'In high-school everyone feels pressure.' 2:37 starts with this sentence. So one can guess that the film is about life of the students of high-school and the difficulty of their life. Being a teenager is often hard because the teenager thinks that life is against them. In this film usual teenager problem is carried out. For instance, there are some students desire to succeed always, to fit in, to be perfect, and to be normal. One can come across this typical person in real life.The characters in this film was really good when they acted their roles. I like all of them but I like some of them most. They are Melody, Steive, and the girl who kills herself.Melody was lovely and calm girl. She was raped by her brother and then she became pregnant. And she called her mother but she didn't take enough concern. In this part of film one can easily observe the effect of indifferent parents on their children. The children who don't take enough interest feel alone and some time later they commit bad things.Steive is really a man that should be appreciated because he is a sample of determination. No matter what happens to him he just put up and doesn't give up. And he is also patient because he doesn't stand against his deficiency and the criticisms from his friends. So I like him and I will take into consideration his patience and manners.And I like also the girl who kills herself. She is quite ordinary. But one can understand at the end of the film that she feels all of her emotions inside of hers. When I noticed that the one who committed suicide is she, I was really confused at first. But after I thought of her, I acknowledge her to be right. Because she has nobody to explain herself.And finally, I want to talk about the film generally. I like the music that played during the film. They helped me to feel the characters better. And the film managed to impress me.

I think 2:37 certainly should be seen by parents and teachers. Because nobody knows that what happen of teenagers' life and about their worlds. And , I think so many parents do not want to understand them and parents have never thought that teenagers have problems. That idea can not be accepted. Actually, they fight with themselves as in this movie. There are six teenagers and different problems. Although all of them to be friend, in reality not. Everyone busy with yourself but one.all of them have problems and most teenagers do not look around . just they want to change something according to them. In my opinion, these people are miserable because they don't never know what is the friendship. It is really shame for them. Anyway, that one lives bad days. She loves Marcus but he doesn't care her love. Maybe it is seen that she has not got any problems in her life. but actually nobody cares somebody's life or problems or such as other things in that school. They don't communicate with each other. she consistently tries to speak Marcus. But he doesn't want to speak with her. Then ,she starts to be desperate. although she is interested in friends, nobody does not take care of hers . So, she decides to kill herself.
