I think I would have enjoyed this film more if it had not tried to deal with such heavy subject matter. Because the theme was so sensitive and intense, points of mediocre craftsmanship stuck out. Essentially everyone in the film is a stereotype--the art teacher, the English teacher, the History Teacher, Melinda's friends, Melinda's parents, the principal, and the counselor.
Kristen Stewart was the best thing about this movie. She had a pretty good command of her facial expressions and mannerisms. It would have been nice if she had some decent lines. The other actors were fairly weak. The score was essentially a non-entity.
Like I said, it's an OK film, but it's trying to be more than it is.
