I can see where the writers were going with this but nothing connected. I was disappointed in Mila Kunis for this disjointed performance - she was all over the place. Is she angry? Not really? Is she broken? Kind of? Is she trying to forget the past? I...don't know? I understand that everyone reacts to trauma differently and no one should be shoe boxed but she didn't really feel like a person at all. Mila Kunis is a strong personality and I think her real self outshone whatever role she was trying to portray.
Plot-wise...nothing really happens? There isn't even much character growth - it's just one long movie about her coming to a decision and going through with it. Her mother and Dean are also almost comically villainous. The "rich best friend who adopts lost poor girl at college" trope is getting really old. The fiancé was an empty character - trying to be the perfect guy but having fundamental icks.
Also the school shooting felt like it was put in just for shock value and not properly addressed at all. Very insensitive and should not have been added at all.
