A movie that harkens back to the 90s teen thrillers like cruel intentions, the crush, swimfan. It doesn't have the same bite as them, It's more reminicent to an overlong episode of black mirror, And would problably have benefitted more If It actually was. The acting and the overall tone of the movie is actually great and I really liked It. I would have given this a higher star If It wasn't for the missleading terrible trailer that praised the movie as It was the best ever! wich was laughable, I hated the abrupt ending and I was very annoyed by the typical boring Indierock soundtrack mixed with some contemporary crap music that noone listens to in reality. There's things I like about the movie though and its definetly worth a watch if you have nothing else to see.

I'm gonna keep this spoiler-free as I really want to speak to potential viewers BUT I will mark clearly at the very end some spoilers so that you can avoid it. But I wanted to cover that bit a little.So, I gave this a chance despite the low rating as I don't really trust IMDB ratings anymore. I'm really glad I did. This turned out to be a nuanced, complex, and interesting film. I only discovered afterwards that the 22 year old young woman who played the lead also co-wrote it, directed it, and produced and/or wrote most of the songs in it. She is someone to watch as it's so surprising to me that somebody so young could get across such complex ideas.What I loved is there is no Bad Guy/Good Guy-everyone is just human, with good qualities and bad. I don't think the trailer conveyed that. It leaves a lot of questions unanswered which some have complained about, but I still find it satisfying as Miss Shephard gave us enough clues that we can fill it in. Many audiences today prefer not to have to think and ponder and use their imagination, they just want stories with simple plots that tell them everything. I found it wonderful. To wrap up, give this a chance!! Especially if you enjoy unusual indie movies.SPOILERS NEXT. LOOK AWAY IF YOU DONT WANT TO SEE!****I loved this ending, I really did. Those last few scenes weave together perfectly. The way it ended with her teacher was fantastic. He showed respect for her and it was obvious on her face that that meant the world to her. She felt valuable. And we are left reminded that even people who make very very poor choices, can have moments of maturity and kindness. Lovely film!

Though I wouldn't call this my genre, Blame turned out to be downright spellbinding. I saw this at the Tribeca Film Festival, where there was plenty of hubbub about the movie and youthful writer/actress/director Quinn Shepherd. I hoped to be entertained, but instead was mesmerized completely. This movie would have worked just at the level of a great ensemble acting piece, because every one of Blame's actors and actresses was spot on. Somehow these high school characters and their teacher all achieved that mixture of good and evil, or at least evil and charisma, that marks a complete portrayal. The movie was great just as a high school drama, with steamy basement partying and cheerleader slow-mo scenes, and was completely compelling as a "forbidden fruit" student/teacher story where no-one is actually to blame. But the additional genius here is the play within a play, where scenes from The Crucible are brought to life in cool and artful ways in a New Jersey auditorium. There's plenty going on here, beyond entertaining from start to finish--go see it.

I love this movie! It's full of twists and turns, and you won't catch your breath until after the credits roll. It's so refreshing to see real teenagers depicted on screen. Each of the characters are interesting and realistic. The best part of the movie is that it's told from the perspective of teenage girls. You become incredibly invested in the girls' drama and find yourself constantly questioning your own morals. The film had a masterful way of slipping incidents past its audience that in any other setting would be inappropriate.
