If my 14 year old produced this film for a school drama project, I'd be proud of them, but I'd gently try to steer them toward another career. Embarrassing dialogue, iffy casting, weak characterisation. Production values are decent, the cinematography isn't too bad and one or two of the actors give solid, professional performances, but overall very poor.
It did nothing for me.
Bleak. From the washed out color pallet to the isolated location to the premise itself. For a movie with pretty much all children as the characters, the actors did a good job. The writers did a good job too as they really did feel like a group of troubles kids at the age where the want to be, and therefore act, so grown up but are still children.
