After an hour, I wasn't enthralled anymore. The film went off on a lot of tangents (such as showcasing the preppy high schoolers' drinking/sex scenes or the scenes in the cafeteria and the Homecoming dance).
The core of the film should be to tap into the mind of Abigail and the teacher, to figure out what is missing in their lives and why they seek one another. I felt that Abigail's backstory was limited and there's not a full rationale of why her classmates antagonize and insult her. And we also don't see why the teacher is distant towards his girlfriend.
It's really a shame because the actress for Abigail (who also serves as the film's director) does a prime job here.
