this was way too messy, WAY TOO MESSY. the execution was not it, i was extremely interested for the first 25% but it went downhill from there. the dialogues were all over the place, i found the characters quite flat. kevin was so stupid it hurt & sometimes he became extremely wise about his feelings & it wasn't consistent at all. there was a lot of telling & not showing & overall, it was just a mess & it also felt very highschool, like the drama & other elements felt extremely childish. the trauma was not dealt with right, it was too rushed & felt like it was there just for the sake of it, justice was not done to the different traumatic elements the characters go through
