First of all, this movie strives to be realistic and truly put you in the shoes of a 17 year old pregnant girl. The characters are never entirely bad or entirely good which is exactly the right move for these types of movies,because if they were exaggerated in any way the film would end up feeling irrelevant and distant and it would defeat the entire purpose of it.
The mistake the writer makes is the distribution of good and evil !
When you look at the characters individually they're actually very well written they're never exaggeratedly good or evil and all feel like they could exist in the world we know, but when you zoom out and look at the whole picture you notice how every single male character with more than one line of dialogue was kind of a douche (to different degrees of course, as I said the writer never exaggerates) and every single woman with more than one line of dialogue was a nurturing angel (again to different degrees)?
The movie should be realistic and it is, until it isn't, until you realize you didn't see ONE decent man or ONE mean woman for an hour and forty minutes.
