Just finished watching the film. I found it relatable and relevant. I teach teenagers and they are murky and complicated. Self-harm is such a huge concern that needs to be taken seriously. This movie deals with a lot of issues and for the most part deals with them well. I don't feel that the unexpected pregnancy scare was one of them though. It wasn't given enough traction to really be effective. Otherwise, the jumble of emotions, the conflicted nature of our main character, the self-destructive nature of denial, and the coming to terms with who you are were all poignant. The big message here is talking about suicide doesn't lead to suicide necessarily. Nico had many people who loved him and tried to help - the montage at the end showed that nicely - but he felt he had no other options. I enjoyed the movie. Could it have been better? Sure. Did I wish for a different outcome? Yes. Was I emotionally invested? You bet.
Bottom line: worth it.
