Great Movie! I think every teenage girl should see it.
November 4, 2017
This is movie that every family with a teenage girl should see. As young women perhaps many of us can see ourselves in some of the characters. I agree that it definitely has some teachable moments. "Entertainment" can be used as a means to teach some life lessons rather than having to experience them firsthand.

Great concept
May 20, 2018
A movie is supposed to leave you with suspense and not confusion. The characters all did a great job, it was a great concept however, there's a lot of answered questions with no conclusions. I felt like Grace didn't know who she was, and couldn't find herself. What did Megan Good give her at the end of the movie? Why was Megan Good the only one in jail? Who did Grace tell that her best friend was messing with Mary? Why didnt she go after her friend? Romeo should have had more visual jerk actions or should have had dialogue with her afterwards. Was she bisexual or did she only have a thing for her best friend? The mother played an awesome role. Did Raven beat her up b/c the school found out about them? The dance number could have been left out; what purpose did it serve? The guy she was friends with should have saved her at the end instead of her doing him like that. Great concept but a lot of confusion

This movie is pretty good is dealing with the teen culture and High school culture. I can relate to this movie a lot. It deals with a lot of bullying and high school peer Pressure. Grace is a educated girl. Who has a couple of best friends. Grace and her friend are pretty much out outcast. There's a popular teens in school. Haveever Grace in her best friends had bond to always stick together. Eventually that bond ended. When Grace best friend committed suicide due to being emotionally and physically bullied. And her other friend was going to college. Unfortunately he was not financially stable. So he came back to help the teachers. Grace didn't know her identity. Her mother poor and she did a lot of bad decisions in front of her daughter Grace. And that made their family very disfunctional. Then grace started hanging out with this other girl. Her friend's sister that did suicide. But she was a bad influence. Then Grace became the bad girl. She started to act just like her mother. Dim multiple bad things start to happen in Grace. Because, she never knew how real identity. She was a leader then she became a follower. But, the ending show. True beauty is valuing your own self with self respect. And you don't have to fit in the be somebody. Grace had a lot of good potential. But clear pressure took her down the road of darkness and failure. It a good movie to shoe young teens. And to hopefully build up they character and morals.

Absolutely loved it! True story line and awakening moments for every young girl. People don't realize how serious bullying is and the effects that it can have on people. But we as women have to teach our daughters (sons included) to not live for the approval of the world. We have to be self-confident and have self-love or else we'll never be good enough. There is always someone somewhere that won't accept you regardless of what you do. That shouldn't deter us from being who we are.

OK movie. Ryan Destiny's performance is good. I wish we could see Garcelle Beauvais in more roles; she's quite good here. She's beautiful, but she's also very talented; she can play more than the pretty girl. I haven't seen her play a character like this before, and she does well. Meagan Good and Raven Symone's turns here didn't do much for me. I've seen Meagan Good in a few movies, and she's never really blown me away; I guess her character is supposed to be interesting, but it's NOT. The plot of this movie is good, but it all just fell kind of flat for me. Just thinking "why?" while watching it? Only Garcelle and Ryan hold it down.

This was a really good movie. Real, honest, twisted, and suspenseful. I believe it's relatable to most youth as it touches a lot of struggles most young people deal with : social temperments, friendships, relationships, sex and sexuality, family life, confidence, self image, etc. It's a gut wrenching title but you are relieved with the bittersweet catharsis at the end. I think the ending is unsatisfying but it fits the style of the movie perfectly because it's like a slice of life; not a perfect cookie-cutter ending/scenario. Towards the end the movie did kinda of skip around a lot but I believe it was done this way to help progress the story along. Also, by not making everything extremely linear it adds depth to the movie, allows the audience to make conclusions, and really ups the emotional setting. The way everything is told and revealed is really surprising. Overall a good watch.

This movie is busy, but it's real. These are things that are children are dealing with daily. They are trying to find themselves. You really do have to pay attention to understand. Ryan Destiny's performance is great. I could've dealt without Raven-Symone, but I'm glad she was limited. However, the role she played was pivotal. I would have loved to explore this more in a book.

a film student must! bittersweet slice-of-life coming-of-age self-awareness flick.
glad to see a situational film that could be about any young american girl,
yet the main character happened to be haitian-american. really loved it!

This is a really good movie with great actors, but it should say that it has STRONG adult themes. While it has no nudity it, still, should caution that it has strong "sexual" or adult themes.

I’m sure this movie had good intentions, but it completely lost me. For starters, it’s moves pretty slowly. On top of that, the storyline feels incomplete, and the viewer is left to fill in the gaps. The tile of the film is misleading, as you never truly get to know who Grace, or anyone for that matter, is and what connects them all.
