Good writing aside, this screenplay contained the elements of two different films. One of them might have been quite persuasive.

Extremely well written in the fearless way of a smarty pants on a roll in the university cafeteria.

rotten:
Wood's fine work is undermined by the movie it's trapped in, which feels like a rough draft of itself: Skander Halim's screenplay is unnecessarily twisty and gimmicky, and some of the teenspeak dialogue falls flat, already out of date.

rotten:
The screenplay by Skander Halim falters. It's too convoluted and cloudy to have the intended effect.

rotten:
Self-conscious, overdone, shallow, and just not up to the level of its star.
