Rating: ***
An interesting love story in which you will find yourself utterly involved. The acting is possibly the best part of this film, in which it all seems extremely natural, especially when it comes to Ruby Jerins' role as Pattinson's younger sister.
Unfortunately, due to the film portraying yet another mopey, misunderstood teenage story (which is getting rather old now), many of the characters seem unlikeable, especially Pattinson's (although at times you do rather admire his courage/stupidity). It is not a funny film, and it is not a film that has blown me away, but it sure does work as an indie film.
There is not really much to say about the film, as not much actually happens until the end, in which a cruel twist of events leaves the audience partially traumatised. The end actually was not too well done in itself - it seemed the only forced, unnatural part of the whole film, as if it simply served as an Atonement-style loss of hope moment.
Overall, quite a slow film which will keep the audience wrapped up in its plot, until the rather unnecessary twist at the end.
