The acting is so good that it almost sells the story, like a magnifying glass over graveyard dirt. The dialogue is Yale far, but sometimes too much and weird (had a laugh though). The character dynamics are interesting, but eventually go into institutional ennui territory. The clichés **aren't** suddenly consequential, but they're grand and tragic. Despite all the selacious reveries and the surreptitiousness of it all, the tumultuous effort of this cinematic effort; in vein. I smile wide, the lines around my mouth deepen into parentheses as I frame a perfect punchline; *"overreaching without ambition."*

Great writing and cinematography, but if Jenna Ortega wasn't in this it wouldn't be watched. Is it worth watching, once at most.

Like the Pope on masturbating: anti-climactic. Two talented actors are stuck fleshing out a highschool student's fantasies, which are so trite even she got bored before the ending.

The cinematography of the movie was stunning, the visuals were breathtaking and really added a lot to the movie's overall experience. The acting was also top-notch, the actors did a superb job and really brought their characters to life. However, I found the pacing of the story to be slow and unengaging. While the plot had potential, it felt like the story wasn't fully fleshed out and many aspects of the characters and their motivations were left unexplored. As a result, the movie ended up feeling somewhat incomplete and I was left waiting for a more meaningful conclusion. Overall, while there were definitely some strong aspects of the movie, the pacing and underdeveloped story left me feeling a bit disappointed.

I like literature and I thought it would be an interesting intellectual film about books, literature and writing. Instead, it is presumptuous and childish at the same time, if that even makes sense. Waste of actors and cinematography.
