With such a terrible ending ? I'm all for a bit of drama but this was too much.
There is a lot of tension throughout the film and the love story, which should be the key element, feels under developed. It is hard to believe the two teenagers are in love. Not much chemistry between them and why make love for the first time in a basement when everybody knows it's where girls get raped in bad neighborhoods? Why miss the opportunity for sensuality? Everything happens too fast and everybody seems to lose their heads at every turn. The boy's father loses his job, the girl's brother gets fired over nothing, the girl's friend betrays her. It all escalates and you are left with nothing much since the film's love scenes must have lasted 5 minutes.
