Writing like this is hard to find

Rating: 9/10 (11 April 2005)

It is a credit to the writing of this movie that I came away from it desperate for a sequel but hoping one would never be made. I love this movie and the five characters as so fragile that it looks like they may shatter at any moment, yet find a collective strength Anyone who's seen this film knows it switches from melancholy to funny to confrontational in the blink of an eye, but there is a method to the madness. Unlike modern teen flicks where there is the predictable "X and Y are different, grow to like each other, big fight, reunion", this film is a little more insightful to teenage angst and emotion, that being completely unpredictable Set over the course of half a day, there is no film i've ever seen where you emotionally invest in the characters so much you want to see what happened to them all after that day, even though you know they are merely fictional characters. To make a sequel (or even worse, a remake) would spoil this movie entirely Timeless
