Netflix has been notorious for putting out cheesy budget teen movies, but this one takes the cake. I don't know what's up with Netflix Brazil, they have solid actors and good cinema, I'm sure they could do better.

The main character is unbearable. No one is that awkward IRL and she's all woe is me 24/7, even including during a funeral. A funeral. Which is when she's finally called out.

Overall it's not worth the watch. There are better teen movies.

The whole plot is nonsensical to begin with - grown women with functioning brains would have just come clean straight away so that they could be ruled out, as a stupid prank is nothing compared to murder.

My biggest frustration was how casually child exploitation was mixed into the plot, only for it to have no follow-up AT ALL. It only served to explain a suicide and to make us slightly sympathetic towards a character otherwise extremely horrible.

I thought they'd bring it up again to explain why this grown man targeted a school aged girl (I'm assuming this, given she had a school uniform on when they meet), but of course they didn't. Why get serious when you can instead go with a stupid twist that serves absolutely no purpose?

My favourite bit was the lady randomly making a move at the priest. Should have gone for it, since she's just going to spend the rest of her days in prison anyway.

I'd like to understand how this script came to be. They seem to have a decent budget, but couldn't come up with a weaker, lazier story if someone wacked them in the head with it. What on earth happened here?

The actors are more wooden than Pinocchio - who at least has a soul - and look like they're all about to fall asleep mid-sentence. The only saving grace was Bronagh Waugh, who seemed to be the only functional human around.

HOW and WHY would a professional get immediately tangled with someone who knew the victim and make such rookie mistakes? It's laughable. The single mother arc is tired at best - she clearly has a comfortable living situation. You're bored? Get a job, volunteer, do something. And why did they not analyse the whole building? I just..... what on earth.

This is lazy and shameful writing. We could be having more McDonald & Dodds episodes instead, also with far better main actors.

I've never written a review here, but this movie is so bad it made me decide to change that.

Now, I like slow paced, quiet movies. But this one is just slow paced, dull and boring - it doesn't offer anything. The most interesting bit was the conversation when they were drinking a beer with Lena Dunham's character. Other than that, it's a gigantic plot hole - there's neither explanation nor consequence to help us understand why Jenny is the way she is or why she keeps getting passes for actions that are just not okay.

And then it ends like that. Boom.

I guess if you're looking for something to help you fall asleep, this might be useful.
