Title: One of the most pretentious movies I have ever seen
Review: I saw this movie for a film studies class at the university I attend. It was absolutely horrible. The characters are stereotypical and cliched. The writing is shallow and at times overbearing. The story itself arrogantly forces the audience to believe that they are viewing a "profound work." Instead, the movie does not go into the utter devastation that the town faced by losing its children, but shows the "seedy" underbelly of white suburbia. Seems more suitable for an after school special than an award winning movie. The only reason it got one star was because of the use of complex crosscutting and the subjunctive narrative style. That's it. Not worth seeing, trust me.
