Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

notreadytorun I personally love this movie. I love the acting, and the way the movie was presented. I liked how it used both real life filming and a virtual world as well. It made it pretty interesting. Generally speaking, movies regarding these themes are pretty inaccurate and, I feel, don't very well get their point across. However, this movie surprised me at how well it presented the point, storyline, and themes.Being honest, though, I feel like the movie put too much unnecessary emphasis on Dominik being homosexual. When reading reviews and such, it appears to be a movie that will focus on a boy struggling with sexuality, but I ended up only getting that feeling from just a few minutes in the beginning. Throughout the rest of the movie, he is focusing on Sylwia.I also didn't like that Dominik was the typical rich kid, and the way that he changed was a bit sudden. The movie didn't really ease you in to him being crazy and a hermit. I felt like if he were changing slowly, it would have come out much better.Aside from these two little things, the movie is great to watch, and has an interesting storyline. It is definitely one of my favorites.

Stacei Greek I've heard my friends talk about this movie a lot and I've always meant to see it.Recently, I stumbled upon it online with excellent subtitles, so of course I had to watch it. And I'm glad I did!I can relate with a lot of situations in the film and the acting was all so well done. It is quite a sad movie, so beware. (I was almost in tears.) I was drawn into it from the beginning and couldn't take my eyes off of the screen. It's definitely one I'm going to watch over and over.Highly recommended!

silverbillings I want to write here first and foremost that I did check that this contains spoilers, so please please please don't read this if you haven't seen this amazing Polish masterpiece yet.As an agoraphobic and very suicidal young adult I could very much relate to this movie, it had me shaking and in tears within the first ten minutes. The way this story is written, following Domonik as he struggles with his sexuality and bullying, is just beautiful from every aspect. It opens your mind and isn't afraid to dig down deep into your emotions and pull them to the surface. The SADDEST part I found to this movie by far was the ending, not because of his suicide (yes, it was very sad) but the terms OF his suicide. I'll admit that I've done almost the exact same thing he did, I sat on my bed one night while my mom was gone at her BFs, drank a beer, and swallowed eight pill bottles worth of anti-depressants, anti-psychotics, and other miscellaneous prescriptions of mine. And I'll tell you that the last memory I have of that is literally chugging away the pills, I have no memory of anything from that night. So after Domonik had swallowed those pills sitting on the toilet, he would not have remembered those "funny drunk" moments he had, he wouldn't remember crying and begging for someone to call his parents. Hell, he wouldn't have even had that vision of going out and dancing with the pink haired girl. He would have died, with his last memory sitting on a dirty toilet, alone.

F. Azazel This movie deals with two very real issues of today's youth - sexuality and suicide. Even though, I really wanted to like this movie, I just couldn't get past the glamorization of suicide and violent behavior. As a gay person struggling with my own sexuality and living in a repressed society, I was appalled by the sudden and absurd turn of events. From an innocent kiss that brought the onset of unrealized emotions to an internet addiction to a suicidal tendency. I won't argue what reasons are good enough reasons to try to commit suicide but you're at a fault if you don't realize you have a problem or try to fix it. Dominik's father gave the impression that he was okay with his son being gay as long as he didn't embarrass him by kissing male statues... As for his friends, it could've possibly blown over sooner or later or if it hadn't he could've just alienated them from his life. I mean there were options but the character doesn't seem to want to take the necessary steps.However, this film highlights another very important issue - the lack of mental health support in schools/home/society in general. The parents' prioritization of work over family along with their lack of a serious attitude towards Dominik's illness adds flair of reality to this situation. The acting is over-done at parts with a few unwarranted tears here and there but it's heart wrenching and downright depressing and if that was intended then bravo!, job well done. I have certain qualms about the story; I didn't see the whole my-world-is-falling-apart thing in this movie. Instead, I saw my-world-suddenly-fell-apart-in-a-matter- of-hours... Again, I wanted to like this movie, it's about issues I care about but it just tried to focus on everything all at once without really giving a cause for the effect.
