Positives...
- Amandla Stenberg. She is essentially the reason to see this. Give her more movies.
- The pairing of the four primary young characters, played by Amandla Stendberg, Harris Dickinson, Skylan Brooks, and Miya Cech, are all entertaining to watch. The scenes of their camaraderie and chemistry, are the best parts of this movie.
- Fans of movies based on Young Adult novels, should find a lot to like about this.
Negatives...
- It's still a movie based on a Young Adult novel, and shares the trappings, flaws, and tropes, that's very common in these kinds of genre films.
- The story derivatives and predictability can be disappointing, and dampers any sort of excitement you might have for this.
- Plot conveniences and plot holes, also ruin what should otherwise be a relatively innocuous movie.
- There were some inane plot developments that I found completely eye-rolling worthy.
- Did Miya Cech; the only Asian character in the main cast, even get to say anything? If she was suppose to be mute, then the movie failed to inform me of that.
