This film isn't just about survivors of a school shooting. It's about hopes, dreams, and fears in relation to what a life can be or may never be. It's also about friendships, mistakes, regrets, misplaced love, choices, and how everything can change in the blink of an eye.
I would have preferred a bit more character development and stronger performances at times. But, that's somewhat forgivable considering the poetic message that the film ultimately strives for.
The tragic (and sadly still relevant) topic of school shootings is only a framework for a story about choices and the value of life.
This is a very good and very underrated film.
P. S.
I started writing this review three days ago, only to see the news yesterday of the school shooting in Uvalde Texas at Robb Elementary School. 19 children killed, and two adults. A horrific tragedy.
My heart goes out to the families of those victims and to everyone affected by ALL violent acts (everywhere in the world). I continue to hope for a future where every life is cherished, protected, and celebrated.
Choose LOVE.
