Blurb from Netflix:
Three criminals from a disastrous bank robbery take a young woman, a father and
child hostage in a desperate attempt to get away at any cost.
Selina’s Point of View:
I found this film to be very typical – to the worst of the
genre.
There wasn’t all that much substance to it. It was like we
were just getting a little bit of insight into a man hunt from the criminal’s point
of view. In a situation like that, you expect to learn a lot more about the
criminals. You expect them to be humanized and to understand their motives by
the end.
Nope. I got none of that.
Even the semi-twist was predictable. I called it near the
middle of the movie.
I could understand why someone with less options might watch
this film. However, for someone who watches a lot of movies – this one likely
won’t stand out to you. It doesn’t do anything to really make itself memorable.
I’ll forget I’ve watched Rabid
Dogs by next Friday.
Cat’s Point of View:
The dice had some good timing with this movie. I was in some
serious need of distraction today, and action thrillers are almost guaranteed
to do the trick. This film was no exception.
The pacing was great, for one. The dialogue didn’t go by too
quick, so it was easy to keep up with. There were plenty of twists and turns
that kept me right at the edge of my seat.
Let’s talk about that ending, shall we? While I won’t even
come close to spoiling it for you, I can say I didn’t see it coming at all. I
sat here in a moment of gob-smacked silence.
The movie successfully twisted me up into a pretzel so that
at some points I actually felt bad for a couple of the villains of the tale who
were in way over their heads.
Of course, that was balanced with a steady sense of wanting
them to go take a vacation in the underworld.
While this was essentially a remake of a 1974 film with the
same name and premise, some details in the new film were evidently different.
For example, the original apparently took place in Italy; and this film is
French – though, it’s not entirely clear to me if it was set in France or
Canada.
While this movie might not be full of flashy fight scenes or
explosions, the action was solid and I didn’t have any problems buying in to
what was going on as plausible.
I wouldn’t have any problems giving this film a
recommendation.

Blurb from Netflix:
About to turn 16, Lucy realizes that her parents’ marriage is on shaky ground --
and that theirs is not the only relationship that’s in trouble.
Selina’s Point of View:
This was an interesting film.
Parts of it were really on point. I found myself relating to
the main character, played by Sarah Bolger (Once
Upon a Time, Locke & Key, My All-American). A lot of her opinions and
personality remind me of my teenage years. Her characterization was good… but
there was something a little off about everything else.
A lot of the situations started out feeling relatively
realistic… but it’s like they spin off into another dimension.
You know what it reminded me of? Dawson’s Creek (1998-2003). A lot of people disliked that show
because it showed teenagers using a logic and language that was unrealistic for
their age range. I, personally, loved that show. Never-the-less… the people who
didn’t… they weren’t wrong. In this case, it wasn’t so much the language used
by the younger characters, but the amount of logic shown by them.
I’ll admit that, at my age, I could have used logic to get
me out of a lot of the bad situations they found themselves in. At 16? Holy
shit, no. I was bright, I may have even had more logic than the majority of the
people I chose to be around… but it wasn’t anywhere near the level that the
main character in this film showed. It hit unrealistic levels.
If she had been a twenty-five-year-old character, a lot of
her reactions might have made more sense, but she’d have had to be in her
mid-thirties to really make the most sense.
Even with the problems I noted above, I still really enjoyed
the movie. It had a good message and it didn’t shy away from the darkness that
some coming-of-age films ignore.
That’s one of my issues with a lot of coming-of-age movies.
They show way too much innocence in the teenagers and, quite frankly, I didn’t
experience much innocence in my teens. In fact, I don’t know very many people
who did. I’m not even talking about just bad experiences now, I’m talking about
experimentation and stupidity. It’s like, the hallmark of being a teen… and
most films really miss that mark.
As Cool As I Am
really showed how a smart girl can make some dumb choices… without actually
altering the person she is deep down. That part, the movie absolutely got
right.
In the end, I feel like the good outweighs the bad – especially
since the film was entertaining to watch. I would likely recommend it. I might
even watch it again.
Cat’s Point of View:
This movie was chock full of triggers for me.
Normally, when watching something that puts me in an overly
emotional state of mind, I try to give myself a little bit to ‘cool down’
before writing my review. In this case, I’m fairly certain that whether I write
this now, right after watching, or later; it’ll be the same. So here we go.
I have intentionally walked out of only 4 movies in my
lifetime. The first was Critters 2
(1988), because my mom had taken me to see it without really understanding what
it was – and then decided after the first death scene that even a mature 10 was
too young for me to watch that PG-13 movie. The 3rd was Palmetto (1998); because it was excruciatingly slow and I felt like
I was watching paint dry. Thus, I decided to bail. I honestly don’t remember
what my 4th was – I guess it, like Critters
2, might not even exactly count because my departure wasn't entirely
voluntary. I got called in to work just after I’d sat down for the previews. I
did go back and watch whatever it was later.
The 2nd, however, was a mission abort that I’ve never looked
back from – and it wasn’t because I didn’t like the movie. I fled Hope Floats (1998) in tears because of
the emotional gut-punch it’d given me from the very beginning. I think that was
my first really visceral reaction of being ‘triggered’ by something in
media. (I also don’t seem to have luck
watching movies in years ending with ‘8.’ That might not bode well for this
year.) I couldn’t stop crying and I couldn’t bring myself to go back in.
Before I bury the lead here, I’m explaining that I might
have done something similar with this movie, had I not been stubbornly stalwart
in riding the whole thing out.
Needless to say, there were some ugly tears. Unfortunately,
giving away what actually triggered me here would be a bit of a spoiler, so
I’ll have to refrain.
That being said, I actually adored this movie.
I felt the dynamic between Sarah Bolger (Iron Cross, The Moth Diaries, Into the
Badlands) and Thomas Mann’s (Hansel
& Gretel: Witch Hunters, The Stanford Prison Experiment, Barely Lethal)
characters was developed well. Their connection was not only believable, but
fairly palpable.
I was excited to see Claire Danes (Stardust, Temple Grandin, Brigsby Bear) on ‘the big screen’ again;
and wasn’t at all disappointed in her performance as Lucy’s mom. There’s also a
Peter Fonda (Ghost Rider, The Boondock
Saints II: All Saints Day, Copperhead) cameo that had me fairly giddy. (As
giddy as one can be through tears, of course.)
Rather than rambling further about the cast or how
profoundly the film struck a chord with me; I can sum it up with saying that
while I don’t think I can bring myself to watch this movie again, this is
definitely one that I would recommend in a heartbeat.

Blurb from Netflix:
A hidden camera and a documentary being filmed on campus help a bullied,
suicidal high schooler turn the tables on her queen-bee tormentor.
Selina’s Point of View:
Bullying is one of those issues that’s very dear to my
heart. As a result, films like this really get to me.
This drama mockumentary really hit the nail on the head
where the effects of bullying are concerned. Actually, it reminded me a lot of 13 Reasons Why (2017). If that story
were turned into a documentary-style film, A
Girl Like Her would be the outcome – with some obvious plot differences.
You get to see all sides of the story in this film. The suicidal
girl, the bullies, the friends of each, the school board, the faculty, etc.
Things are a little more candy-coated than in the aforementioned Netflix
original, but that makes the pill easier to swallow.
Bullying is a HUGE problem in the teenage world. Small
differences become huge reasons to disrespect fellow classmates. Disrespect can
lead to something much worse.
It’s easy to see shit like this and ask why words are such a
big problem? Why can’t she just block that girl’s number? Why can’t she just
let that stuff roll off her back? Couldn’t she just ignore her?
If you’re one of those people that asks those questions, I
have to wonder if you remember your teenage years at all.
Those of you who showed immense logic as a teen, you can
throw the first stone – otherwise, kindly relax yourself and understand that
the hormones running through human beings makes being a teen roughly the same
for absolutely everyone. Emotions are heightened, impulse control is low, and
there really is no such thing as just ‘letting it go’. Furthermore, the damage
done to us as teens – especially when no one intervenes – can wind up being
carried with us throughout our entire lives.
I remember being the bullied teen. I externalized a lot –
even attacking a close friend of mine who was trying to be supportive, because
I just didn’t know what to do with all that rage. However, I also internalized
even more. I did some stuff that could have been irreversible if I had done
just a little bit more.
Looking back at that time, it’s scary. It’s absolutely
terrifying that people who didn’t matter at all made me feel like I mattered
even less. And that’s what bullying is. It’s scared, emotional children trying
to take control of other people in order to take control of themselves.
And yes, I mean that statement for all bullies – whether they’re
12 or 89. They are scared, emotional children.
A movie like this really puts into context that bullies are
people too, and there’s a reason for what they do. It shows that those reasons
might not excuse that person’s actions, but still offers a reason. It’s
important to understand all sides of a problem in order to find a solution.
On that principle alone, I liked this film. However, there
are a ton of other reasons that I love it.
In mockumentaries like this, it’s easy to get swept away in
the shaky cam, but they managed to make it look very good. I wasn’t put off at
all and at no point did the video make me queasy. The acting was pretty decent,
and the story stayed true to reality. You had both clueless, and involved parents.
You had an administration with their heads so far up their asses that they
resembled an actual school board. The teacher’s hands were tied… it was all
very true-to-life. If I didn’t go into A
Girl Like Her knowing it was a drama, I might have thought it was a real
documentary.
I would recommend this film in a heartbeat.
Cat’s Point of View:
This movie was profound.
I forgot for a bit that I was watching something fictional,
and not an actual documentary.
This film really hits home. I understand the deep hurt and
feeling of hopelessness that engulfed the character of Jessica. I may not have
ever been suicidal, but I remember feeling like I wanted to crawl into a hole
and hide from the world forever– and that was before the dawn of the internet
and social media. I can only imagine what it must be like to be bombarded with
harassment by modern bullies.
This is an issue my 14-year-old daughter has to contend
with. It scares me to death. There’s nothing like the sinking helpless feeling
when your child tells you that they don’t want to be here anymore. Verbal and
social assailants become this nebulous nameless malicious shadow in the
background that dashes out of reach when the light is shown on them. There’s a
culture out there – even in places that boast zero tolerance – where ‘snitches
get stitches’ and many a blind eye are turned. Silence holds sway in fear of
reprisal.
The performances were so on point that it was possible to
change the usual ‘suspense of disbelief’ into just straight forward belief in
the unfolding events. I appreciated that this film showed a balanced view –
giving multiple perspectives. We walked in the shoes of the bully for a minute
– and it wasn’t an excuse or a justification, but an eye-opening experience.
The whole story was handled tastefully. Self-harm was not painted in any sort
of glorified or sensationalized way.
I think that this movie is an excellent vehicle for teaching
awareness for bullying and its consequences. I would highly recommend sitting
down with the tweens and teens in your life and this film. Have some tissues
handy.
