Emotions... simple as that

Rating: 9/10 (9 February 2009)

I was reading all those horrible reviews here on the IMDb, and I just can't believe it. I simply can't understand all the rage exploding here... OK, I can understand that you think it's not THAT good... but to grade it 1, or 2 out of 10? Come on, face it, it doesn't have anything to do with reality, there are MUCH worse movies than this one out there, both technically and from artistic point of view.
Evrybody is dying to point out how it's "not realistic", how it's "a serious subject"... Well, this movie deals with a serious subject in a different way. It's kinda simple, you don't know if you'd rather laugh or cry, it's childish, she's a stupid depressive indie teenager yes, it has many flaws, yes... but why always look for flaws and seriousness and reality... The hype is cause this movie GAVE something to people, to us, we FELT something...something SO simple, and innocent, and sad, and full of life... Why care about anything else? It's wrong to think that it's pro-life, I don't think it tries to gives a message of any kind, and certainly it's not trying to preach or tells you what to do with your life. It's simply...a little story. Story that came from the bottom of someone's heart, and with a very small budget managed to provoke so much beauty in people... I say, excellent job!
