I'm gonna start this review saying I don't live in USA nor I'm american; also, school shootings are not common thing in my country; however, during the shooting scene I was completely terrified, the camera team and the actors made such a good job, I actually couldn't breathe. That scene almost made me throw up, it was amazing.
Other positive aspects of the movie are how sad it is, the character played amazingly by Jenna Ortega is so sad but in such a subtle way it's actually so believable, she's an amazing actress truly fit to play teenage characters because she just has that aura. She speaks, behaves, hide things from her parents, make fun of things and is constantly doubting herself and her feelings just like a real teenager. Also the scenes with her little sister broke my heart, that's real siblings behavior right there, and it reminds me of all these times one is mean to their siblings and that affected me incredibly, I cried a river in the scene the 2 of them finally talk about what happened.
I don't lie when I say this movie is extremely sad, I don't recommend it if you can't handle the depression theme. Also an amazing view on how this massacres affect everyone, not only the families who lost their children but every single person surrounding the event, a movie that will definitely change your vision of life and what we think safety is.
