I think the climax and the resulting trial in reality would have been a lot more complicated than Lifetime portrayed given that they were fighting each other and both had been escalating the conflict to that point. Grace using her car as a weapon against Isla, throwing the first punch, showing up and aggressively approaching Isla later.... it just wouldn't be so simple in real life which makes this movie hard to take seriously. Something faintly similar happened at a college local to me btwn two roommates (not over a boy, but dueling personalities/inability to get along) and that ended up being self-defense after jury deliberations.
Usually the social media movies are a bit cringe and over the top and this isn't an exception. Both girls were annoying as was the guy. The commercials played down how they were equally and actively harassing each other. Teenagers (and adults) often don't consider the consequences of their actions, so the ending didn't surprise me.
The overall vibe feels like "a very special" episode of a 90s tv show but not nearly as good or memorable. The mom exploding at Grace's friends at the funeral was a bit much. Not the grief, that was understandable but the dialogue was sort of cheesy.
