This comment does contain spoiler, so don't read on, if you haven't seen the movie or don't want to know anything about the movie, before you watch it!
If you're cursing slasher movies or recent torture movies (such as Hostel and so forth), for showing too much, than you can say the same thing about this drama. I'm starting off with the bad thing, about this movie, because otherwise I would've given it a much higher rating. The drama part works, the storyline is working great (keeps you guessing who committed a crime/suicide), the actors are very real, too!
The main problem for me are two scenes: The death scene at the end ... although I would've forgiven this one, if it weren't for another scene! The rape scene! It cut away and in my opinion it should've stayed away. The cut back to the scene, was unnecessary! We knew what happened with the first cut. We even got the explanation from Melody herself, that her brother only "touched" her before, but this was the first time he actually had sex with her ... raped her is the better word. There are questions to be asked about this, too. Why didn't she say anything before? He touched her the whole time, she should have said something! More importantly, what the brother did was unforgivable! I really wanted to see him suffer in some way (first he talked down to the girl who committed suicide, then the rape thing ... that Dude has serious issues and they won't go away).
I know it's only a movie, but I don't know how much of the stuff in the movie is based on reality or if it's all fiction and just a movie to the remembrance of a special person (I forgot her name, but she was mentioned at the end of the movie). Some people surely feel otherwise and that's OK, but I do think that less is sometimes more! It would've been in this case/movie ...
