Initially, I didn't have high expectations from this film, it was interesting just to see how the main characters in the roles of Zandaya and Robert would interact. And that's what I got the most out of. Sometimes they looked so ridiculous together that it was just good. 😁 Otherwise, the film, for me personally, is for one time. When all the announcements and trailers talked about some secret of Emma's past, I thought it would be something completely different. Not that we were disappointed, but there was no wow effect. And all the subsequent reactions eventually seemed downright caricatured in places. Although this may be a former idea.🤷

@blacki3: I also had feelings from the category of this meme. This was how the promotion was escalated, and as a result, the "mystery" turned out to be such that the girl simply loved to "try on different roles," including a cool girl with a machine gun.

// but I admit that it may be a shock to the American audience. Fortunately, there is no such severe bullying problem in Russia yet, so it is not perceived as something terrifying.

// But if we draw an analogy, then the show was waiting for such dramas of 10 pieces per issue :D

a good toastmaster and the contests are interesting.
Before the wedding, the characters were kind of bland and there was an estrangement between the couple.
The DJ said it right: Zendaya's character is a bitch, and the guy is a mumbler.
And after the wedding, I liked the meeting in the cafe even more.
A so-so movie that tries to ride on the hype names of Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, but inviting famous actors is not always a guarantee of a quality product. This is exactly the case here.

A sluggish, tedious picture, where everything revolves around the childish, not particularly catchy problem of the main character. As for a movie called "What a drama!" there is catastrophically little of that drama here. I looked at it and forgot it, and you can't call it an easy viewing..

@alexeyfalko: In my opinion, this film is banter above all modern dramas. And the title should be read with a sarcastic tone.
It seems to me that the Russian-speaking audience will not understand this film, for us it is an irrelevant problem and therefore the reactions of the characters look strange.
I really liked the movie. Maybe he just pushed on all the sensitive topics.. Condemnation for the mistakes of the past. The gender issue. Bullying. It seems to me that very deep issues have been raised if you look at them thoughtfully. I didn't expect this from this movie.

@AnastasiaRokudo: So what mistake of the past are we talking about? She didn't do anything. They begin to despise her precisely because of her intentions, not any actions. Judging a person for what he planned to do but didn't do is not okay.

@AnastasiaRokudo: there is no such thing, they are judged by what they have done, they are not judged for "intentional" thoughts, and what her friend did is much worse, locking up a child is much worse than thinking about a mass murder at school
@pinki_pai: 30 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is preparation for a crime and attempted crime, she has already brought a weapon to school, these are not just abstract thoughts. I don't mess around with American laws, but I suspect that they would have gotten even more into it than we do.

@AnastasiaRokudo: I do not agree that the problem for us is the irrelevant
shooting at schools/ universities/ similar institutions often happens in Russia.

Yes, the statistics are lower, but in the last decade the number has become many times higher than it was before
, and these are not isolated cases.

when I was studying (I graduated from high school in 2019, and from university last year), there were similar cases, and I can't say that I wasn't afraid.
After watching it, the feeling of injustice does not leave. All people make mistakes, no one is immune from them, a thought, an idea is not a crime. Emma has gone through a difficult journey from rampant aggression to an activist throwing eggs at Walmart. She didn't deserve this kind of treatment, and I was glad when she left the wedding and was upset when she returned to meet.
And so, it's a good movie, Zendaya opened up to me from a different angle, before that I had only seen her in superhero movies or in Dune.

@borshetskaya: Patinson's character is just a terrible neurotic, I was upset that she ended up staying with him. She would have plenty of such "dramas" ahead of her because of him. What is the situation with the DJ worth, when he took out all the brains of the bride about heroin (although she initially wanted to put it on the brakes and score), and when it came to a confrontation with the DJ, he stuck his nose in the ass, as a result, the heroine of Zendaya is a bitch.
@albulka_: Yes, I agree. It would have been better to drive off into the sunset, and he would have been sitting alone with his girlfriend, who locked the guy up alone.

It's very unusual and fresh, not what you'd expect from a standard romcom. Is it possible to be censured for an idea or should I be for specific actions (hello, crazy Rachel)? Which is more inhumane - an act of passion or long-term planning without a final result? In general, all our prisons, etc., are based on the idea of forgiveness and re-education by society/company, but where is the line between psychopathic appropriation of someone else's morality and ethics (with possible regression when falling into a worse company) and real self-reflection and revision of values as we grow up? I don't even know if this would be the final red flag in a partner for me personally. But it was very exciting, funny and embarrassing to watch this couple.

It turned out to be a very interesting film to discuss and think about. You can't even immediately formulate answers to the moral questions he raised. And I always like it when it's easy (it's very ridiculous and awkward in some places), but without simplifying, it turns out to talk about serious topics. I believe that talent is needed for this.
Well, Zendaya and Robert are good here. It became a pity that she would be cosplaying Sasha Petrov this year, and many people would be tired of her.

I didn't expect anything from the movie. Rather, I was curious about this star duo in the cast, even though I'm not a fan of both.
but still, they both really pull it all out. Yes, it might have been a little tedious and slow in the swing, but everything was fine in the acting.

By the way, it's not exactly a romcom either. There is not much humor and comedy, as such. this is still a drama, as it is actually written in the title, with throwing topics to think about and compare with yourself. through all these revelations, emotions, hypocrisy and introspection.

he loads his head very well with this, and you definitely shouldn't expect any relaxation from the film. but overall, I rather liked it all more. or the movie just got into my mood.

Last year we discussed the choice of a "materialist",

Zen hardly saw the game, and Robert had a benefit.
It is not clear whether the scene where they saw the DJ's girlfriend at a party was cut from the offline rental in Russia or not.

watching the original movie was just a special vibe, and in general I expected a little different from the movie, but that's exactly what I liked! it rarely happens, but the beginning, the development, and the ending have come! although many people here do not agree that Emma is back, but on the contrary, I set exactly the ending I was waiting
for, but only because Rachel pissed me off so much(?? Mike's wife), in fact, it was her behavior that started the whole DRAMA 🤭 pun intended
in short, I definitely recommend watching it!!

Yesterday I watched this movie in the cinema, I really liked it. The stated drama was really enough, Zendaya and Rob coolly and organically played a couple in which, in addition to falling in love, there were obvious understatements in the relationship. Very realistic.
The wedding friend was very naughty, that's who the real hypocrite with double standards is.

It's a bit of a drag. They made a big deal out of a molehill, as far as I'm concerned. Although, maybe things are different abroad in this regard. It's strange that the focus was on Emma, and not on the one that closed Chela for a day. In general, it was a dubious film, not even everyone in the audience was able to watch it and left before the end.

— If you were in front of the Columbine kids, what would you say to them?"
Merlin Manson:
— Nothing. I would have listened to what they would have said. No one would have done that.

I can't say that I really liked the movie, I followed Zendaya more, but I loaded up a little in the course of the narration. It is clear that the film is not for the Russian audience, and although we have a mass-scouting theme, it is not so painful that we take everything very personally. I agree that no one condemned my friend's act, and Charlie's Internet bullying, which is also not good at all, too. But it seems to me that there is a special emphasis on this. That Mike, who shielded himself from the dog with his own girlfriend, that Rachel, who locked a mentally retarded boy in a closet and left him overnight, that Charlie had cheated on the boy online, are the same assholes. But they have excuses and they have rights to them, and Emma has no rights and generally "burn in hell, creature."
For us, the plot of the film is "overblown", for the American audience, there is probably something to think hard about.
The actors liked everything, I didn't regret that I went absolutely, I liked the installation solutions, like anxiety attacks. 3.5 strong people who are without sin, let them throw a stone at me.

I got lucky. It's a beautifully shot film with lots of detail in the spaces. Plus Pattinson played great. Zendei's role was more modest. As for the main DRAMA, the film has set the topic for discussion, and it can be long and sometimes tedious to discuss the ethics of an act.

But the fact that Rachel is a rat is nothing to say. Teenagers at the age of 14 after moving, in a place where it is not possible to make friends, are prone to even more drama and suffering (everyone will die, but I will stay - straight classics). At her core, Emma didn't stray too far from that.

But whether the movie will work when viewed again is a question.

Special thanks to the Ministry of Culture, RCN, or whoever puts warnings before the film for the spoiler that Columbine is mentioned in the film. The first 10 minutes were nervous, because you expect a trick in every phrase)
In general, it's interesting how everyone here discusses Rachel's act, but there is not much discussion of Charlie's act, and this can also be said to be the behavior of a person with a cool head for several days, months, or who knows. I think that all their worst actions are enough to think about continuing a relationship with this person, and I don't understand those who belittle the importance of Emma's actions. She might not have done anything in the end, but I would also have been paranoid that she might start thinking about it again. Nevertheless, adequate people do not practice shooting in order to deal with classmates later.

Alas, the drama of the title is sucked out of the finger. It would have been fine if she had done it and served time, or if she had done it and escaped punishment. But she learned her lesson and reformed without committing a crime. Many people created Kringe as a teenager, but what matters is not who she was then, but who she is now.

Actually, I was very impressed with the film. Zendaya and Robert just won over here with their game.

For me, there are no disadvantages in this movie at all, except that the duration (and even so, every minute was interesting)

Robert Pattinson in the role of a Scared Schmuck.

The second film by Christopher Borghi, which again generates hatred for several characters, but not for the center of the conflict. And let the topic raised surprise you with its suddenness (although I was close in my expectations + the spoiler in the disclaimer made it more precise), but no one here (except the character of Zendaya, again) I can't justify it. Terrified, incapable of common sense, hypocritical idiots who only want to find a reason for hatred in order to justify their own short-sightedness. And you sit there and freak out with their nonsense while your wife whispers that it's all just a movie. Except it's all the same around here. And it pisses me off three times.

I watched it in the cinema, I was pleased with the movie! Everything is involved: fragments of the past, present, fictional, then a cute scene, then an awkward one, then dispersals from scratch, then at a very important moment. It was interesting how Pattinson's character digests new information about the bride under the pressure of the reaction of friends /society. And it is interesting to see the development of the story of Zendaya's heroine, how, thanks to the tragedy, she gained sympathy and support and therefore lost the meaning of her plan.

In stories about bad deeds, the characters are trapped in a comparison and sentencing, whose is the more severe. Imagine how convenient it is to whitewash yourself at the expense of others instead of giving more importance to your real bullying actions. Because of which, among other things, mass-scouting thoughts may arise. Good food for discussion!

Rachel, fuck you. He judges by his thoughts without knowing the whole story. She also fucked up at work, they couldn't get in touch with her, for which she was deservedly kicked out.
The installation is very exciting!
But I still didn't understand why the DJ was fired. What do you care what she does in her free time, as long as she doesn't harm anyone.
After the movie, I wanted a cheeseburger...
the beginning of the movie, by the way, is really great, where they prepare speeches and how it's mixed.
However, I'm not sure about the actress dubbing Zendaya.. It's like passing by a little bit..
It will be necessary to revise the original version.

@NyanQt3_14: In general, the situation with the DJ fits perfectly into the plot of the film. Like, "don't judge, so you won't be judged." Charlie and Emma demand understanding - from each other, from others, but at the same time they have an alleged drug addict (they cut this frame in the Russian box office anyway, or it wasn't there and they have no proof) and this does not interfere with her main task, but despite the whole situation, the DJ is a terrible person and must to be fired. In general, such small details are very steep from their angle.

@Mrs_Tenn_Simm: they just caught a glimpse that she was smoking something with some "punks" on the street. Charlie noticed this and started hyping it up that it was probably heroin.
Emma initially told Charlie that she didn't see this as a problem, but he took it out of her head that they should talk to DJ about it. In the end, she had to do the talking.
I think Emma would have given up altogether if it weren't for his paranoia that a "heroin DJ" would ruin their wedding. As a result, he ruined everything himself.

The film is generally good, but a one-off. I liked the concept, the acting, and the entourage as a whole, and it was interesting to see how the relationship would develop and how the crisis would be handled. According to the description, I thought it would be about cheating or something similar, but the reason for the conflict surprised me. Maybe it's a matter of mentality, but it seemed to me that the reason had been sucked out of my finger. I can still understand, the alarmist is there, everything is going on, he started to wind himself up, but I can't understand the reason for the behavior of my friend and the people around me at all. As if the reactions were too exaggerated. It was a little unusual to see Robert in the role of such a character character. In general, you can watch it, but there is no point in waiting for something supernatural.

Zendaya and Robert are very beautiful, and I liked their interaction as a couple, which I really believe in. I liked that many of the scenes were not shot quickly and the duration of the action is more close to life. The picture turned out to be very beautiful.
I expected the film to be about a couple from both sides, but it's obviously only shown from Charlie's perspective. Therefore, sometimes there was a desire to see what was happening also through Emma's eyes for a more complete picture. But we were given what we were given, and like Charlie, we can only think about it (hello to Charlie the alarmist) and explain through our own prism who is doing this and why.
Many people have complaints about Rachel and her reaction, but she is generally understandable and does not need to be deeply immersed in the topic of schoolshooting. It is unlikely that anyone, no matter how honest and correct a person he considers himself, in such a situation would climb into the embrasure with the words: "Come on, her story is nothing compared to mine, so I'm 100% a creature for doing that. Please attack me and forget about her." This is a basic desire to be ashamed of such an act and try to merge from this attention. Yes, we would like to see her regrets and stuff shown, but the story is not about her.

@vswarley: Plus, she has a personal history related to shooting, and it's unlikely that anyone would be so accepting and would be able to react normally at the moment if they found out that someone potentially involved in her family's similar suffering was sitting next to her. Although her sister, by the way, has already outgrown this story, since she allowed Rachel to attend their wedding (that's exactly where the personal growth was). Her husband Mike also reacted calmly to Rachel's story, because he had lived through this situation for a long time and accepted it for himself.
Charlie is an insecure worrier, he succumbed to the strongest emotions in that room and the opinion of the majority. Yes, I would like him to side with his fiancee at that moment and not be an "asshole," but he acted quite understandably for his personality type.
In general, it is very well shown how anxiety accelerates in such people: from winding up (reviewing life situations - aggression against the driver and slaps in the face) through a new prism to getting approval that his opinion is correct (Charlie's conversation with Misha). All the insecure worriers found themselves in Charlie and understood him in almost every scene. One of the strange things is how, by his age, he had not done anything about it with their popularization of therapy.
For myself, I still haven't decided how I would like to see the ending. So that Charlie, with another "let's start from the beginning," realizing the consequences of his behavior, would follow the path of serious internal restructuring for the benefit of himself and others. Or for the movie to end exactly as it is, with the understanding that you don't need to know everything about your partner and that the decision is yours to make.
The film turned out to be very good for discussion.

most of all, I was infuriated by my girlfriend, who was so judgmental)) that is, how she locked a mentally retarded boy in a closet and didn't tell anyone - this is normal, she was a child) the fact that he survived was pure chance) in the woods, alone, in a closet ...
Charlie's friend turned out to be the most adequate)) I tried to calm them down, sort them out, and calm everyone down)

psy. it's a special thrill to listen to Gavrilin's voice, I just saw Edward ahaha
I went to the cinema expecting a little different: more comedy and movement. But this situation was quite acceptable, although my neighbors were clearly bored and almost fell asleep) Somehow, they were not impressed by a sin from Emma's past ("they blew it out of a molehill"), apparently, this topic really passes by for the Russian mentality.
The film definitely made me think, it was never boring, despite the scarcity of events, the acting is excellent (I have no doubt in Rob for a long time, Zendaya is good, but imho it plays out the same way in all films), the visual is also very pleasant.
The film is still more suitable for private viewing, I think)
I disagree with the opinions that it's okay, because she didn't do anything. It seems that even Emma doesn't have an answer to the most important question of why she wanted to do this. Charlie tried to find reasons, justify her, tried to understand what she was shutting down and didn't want to discuss anything. And outbursts of anger and aggression indicate that this darkness still exists in her. And it's really scary to find out about a partner like that.

And would it look different if a male character was planning a shooting and walking around the house with a knife?

They all started from the beginning, but maybe they should have understood themselves first.

@Korotkaya: I mean, there is no answer.. She was being bullied. Is this an insufficient response?
As I understand it, bullying has not happened to you.

@Korotkaya: I'm sorry, but I can't help but insert my 5 kopecks, even though no one asked me...)

First of all, about the "why". I support the comment from above. Emma has an answer - she was bullied at school, she was depressed, this is a typical story, unfortunately. A child with an unstable mind had terrible thoughts, but she did not embody them, but coped with it. And she went on to join the organization against guns. What more do you want from her? Therapy on camera?

Secondly, about "Charlie tried to understand and justify." From the very beginning of the film, Charlie seems spineless and like he needs someone else's approval. This is especially evident in the dating scene, when he took a picture of the book to please. When Emma told him about her childhood thoughts, he initially laughed it off, but after Rachel threw a tantrum, he picked up on her mood and began to unleash paranoia himself. I don't think it was an attempt to understand, and in this situation he just joined the majority, rather than making his own moral choice.

And most importantly, why are you fixated on Emma's thoughts, but not on Rachel's real actions? She locked a mentally retarded child in a closet in the woods. This is real cruelty. And the same Rachel accuses Emma of THINKING about violence. How is this even comparable?
Yes, thoughts can be scary, but judging for thoughts, turning a blind eye to deeds, is pure hypocrisy. Emma has committed nothing but honesty.

Thirdly, yes, Emma had outbursts of anger. But they were in response to pressure, harassment, and unfair condemnation. This is not proof of the "darkness inside", but the normal reaction of a cornered person.

"And would it look different if a male character was planning a shooting and walking around the house with a knife?"

Let's be honest, if instead of Emma there was a man who planned school shooting as a child, practiced shooting, and then grew up and talked about it over dinner, the reaction would most likely be even tougher. He would have been instantly branded a potential terrorist, the police would have been called, and the wedding would have been canceled. In this sense, there really is a gender double standard. Society is used to being afraid of aggressive men, and women with guns are less likely to be seen.
But this does not negate the main question - is it fair to judge a person for thoughts that he did not put into action, regardless of his gender? Yes, gender matters, but it shouldn't obscure the fact that Emma is the only one who has done nothing really wrong, but has become the main target.

@alexsandra_malik: It's not even scary that Rachel locked the boy in the closet, such an impulsive act is not surprising for a teenager. The scary thing is that she left, and then she didn't say anything about it, and the boy stayed there all night. Rachel, an adult, says with a smile, "Yes, everything is fine with him, they found him in the end, don't worry." Without thinking about what a huge injury she could inflict on him by sitting locked up all night. She justifies herself by saying that "no one died," but she doesn't consider this excuse sufficient for Emma.

It turned out to be an authentic movie. I was delighted with the visual 🤌🏻 The plot? I was discouraged because I obviously didn't expect this.
I think it's better to watch this picture on your own.
Movies (not filmed by the authors) about the fact that if a man can't control himself, everything will go... sideways. Literally. Control what you say, what you do, and what you feel.
And it's probably possible to imagine the film as a portrait of a generation that adopted the concept of "not suppressing anything in yourself, not being shy about expressing yourself to everyone." With this attitude, self-control and self-discipline are not achievable.

@DeathOfTheParty: Patinson's character is literally synonymous with the word "depressed" - he is super scared and nervous, very dependent on other people's opinions. Where did you see his attitude of "don't be shy about expressing yourself and not suppressing anything"?
The fact that he was talking nonsense at the wedding was absolutely not one of those attitudes.
8/10
A24 has such a moment: it's a cool idea, but something is missing - that's how it was here.
The film touches on current issues and is flavored with humor. The heroine of Zendaya is holistic, charming and sexy, Pattinson's character is sometimes Edward from Twilight, sometimes Mickey from Mickey 17, the heroine's girlfriend is very annoying, and her boyfriend Mike is just there.
From a romantic beginning to a boring discussion at the table with friends, and after that - a swinging pendulum of interest, which swings stronger and stronger over time.

It's a good movie. In terms of tone and vibe, it is similar to the "Materialist" from the same A24.
A pleasant variety compared to the horror films that I used to watch from this studio.

I didn't like it. The whole plot is built on dialogues, the romance between the characters is not catchy, Zendaya is just calm throughout the film, and Pattinson cries about and without (and in general they were shown somehow disgusting). For some reason, they shoved the bed scenes, which could have been dispensed with, and the scenes with the nausea of the characters almost into the camera. It's also the same tune throughout the movie.

The "drama" as such is about whether the attitude towards the person you love will change if you find out something bad about him (And, by the way, my friend's reaction to that "bad thing" pissed me off). This "bad thing" itself is not directly intriguing or creating a plot twist, so don't expect something like "wow."

What a wedding without a fight!

It's funny how after Charlie's "story" about bullying, his friends said that he was immature and his brain hadn't formed at the age of 14. But when it came to Emma, the tragedy played out for the whole movie. But if such a principle had been applied to her, then the film would not have happened. 🙃

I don't really understand why many people justify the character of Zendaya- "well, she didn't do anything, it's just thoughts."
She didn 't do it because there was another mass scouting the day before . If it wasn't for this fact, she wouldn't have changed her thoughts and plan.
She remained the person who completely prepared the massacre.
Yes, there are a lot of questions for her parents, to be honest. Yes, it's clear that teenagers have all sorts of things going on in their heads. But in my opinion, these are not excuses.
I didn't like the ending.It would be more realistic if they broke up completely and started relationships with other people and no longer shared personal information while drunk.

They're all triggered in this America, the film is mostly of the conversational genre, so it's very much for the amateur.

The new A24-slop standard. A completely contrived, unrealistic conflict, around which a sane story simply cannot physically arise. The bride's friend reacted so stupidly, as if the heroine of Zendaya was a veteran of the occupation army with a medal for outstanding achievements in the field of war crimes. Well, they keep the brand - as always, bullshit. But it was captured on film - everything, as we like it, with grain and white spots.

Any man with a testosterone level within the normal range, if he found out about such a "secret" of his girlfriend, he would not let her out of bed for a week and King Arthur himself would not be able to get her out. But here, it seems, another psychotherapeutic scarecrow is "working through injuries" and repenting for his insecurity and toxicity. Is it possible not to make a movie about this next time, but to leave all this garbage in the therapist's office?

@Khrustalev: Well, don't overdo it either, they're already in their 30s, supposedly, who are already excited by teenage gags - I wanted to smash a potty over a classmate's head at school! - Wow, I want you! )) I agree that the reaction to the 15-year-old teenager's outburst is greatly exaggerated.

More for the American audience, of course. For example, in 2022, 188 school shootings per year were recorded in America. There is a terrorist attack involving a child every two days. It's very scary. But we don't experience such shocks so often. And, probably, this problem does not resonate as strongly in our Russian hearts as Rachel's. (Or is it just me?(Therefore... That's why we didn't get this WOW effect, as advertised to us.

But overall, I liked the movie. Frames. Acting game. Emma's school period has been delayed a bit, but then again, the difference in countries and social issues is most likely to blame. But the wedding... Wedding fire!! 🔥🔥🔥

The movie itself is cool, but why Pattinson looks and behaves like a drug addict, I didn't understand the whole movie. It seemed that the moment of betrayal was an attempt to take Emma's place, like to want to and not to finish. Although cheating and bullshooting are certainly incomparable.
The fact that a friend reacted sharply is a fact, but still we are all different (and she also had experience) and for some even thoughts are perceived as a crime. People live within their own limits of normality, and one step away is for them to lose their temper. In the beginning, friends laughed at how Charlie bullied a neighbor, which is quite normal for them, but they talked about the kid in the closet in the movie again. Hypocrisy in one word.
True love is radical acceptance

Oh, that was the most awkward wedding fuss ever.🙈
Damn, their ass burned out there because someone wanted something, but didn't do it 15 years ago.
I didn't really like the film itself because I couldn't fully reveal what the director intended to convey to the audience.
The main acting duo Zee and Rob, of course, played this whole drama perfectly and their emotions poured through the screen, but all these stormy streams seemed to be unable to wash the strings of my soul)
I looked, and okay.

I definitely did not expect such a plot, I was surprised.. Heavy topics were raised, it was depressing somehow while watching.

I think this movie should be shown to everyone who wants to get married in the second month after they met)) Immediately discourages all desire. After all, we need to get to know each other more (at least ask, "What's the worst thing you've done in your life?":D).

This movie made me a little less willing to get into a relationship and get married. In the middle of the movie, I felt a little uneasy.
I didn't quite understand how he was testing the strength of couples' relationships..
But in fact, on the one hand, it's kind of stupid to judge her for what she didn't do in the end. But on the other hand, after such information, it's a little difficult to just continue communication, and even more so a relationship.
I can't say that I really liked the movie, but I deserved a four.

There are no innocent sheep in this drama, everyone turned out to be good.
But the most courageous was the girlfriend, who locked the kid up and ran away, and was silent while they searched for him for a day! But for some reason it was possible for her to justify herself and hide behind the fact that "I was afraid" such people would be thrown at once or twice and even her conscience would not rise. She had no right to condemn GG-nu at all.
I wasn't impressed with the end, and then both of them had cockroaches in their heads and decided that it was probably best not to find a mate, so they started over, no matter how logical, but I wanted them to never meet again...

I watched it for Zendiya and Robert Patinson, an unusual couple. I knew the spoiler about Emma in advance.
Everyone makes mistakes, but Emma only wanted to, but she did, and because of this, her fiance was afraid of her throughout the film and her friend despised her-it's strange. My friend was pissing me off the whole movie. She laughs at her actions and condemns others. Charlie is such a tough guy by nature and his hairstyle annoyed me.
A one-time movie.

The plot is too far-fetched. If we conduct a survey, it turns out that most of the students at some point wanted to kill their peers. Teenagers often plan heresy. No one at the age of 30 remembers or worries about it so seriously.

Zendaya herself is not suitable for this role. She already looks like she can pull it in. Plus, she's already played a lot of movie roles. There is no contrast between her image and her past, as if she were some prettier and more fragile actress.

It was shot and mounted well. The script and casting are not up to par.

Thank you, A24, for inviting me to this wedding.
God, I loved the whole Robert Pattinson movie. I'm just glad that I live with him at the same time.
I liked that Charlie would try to forget Emma's failed prank, and she would try to forget his failed betrayal. In real life, men forgive women everything, and we forgive them nothing.
Ahah, there's a lot to learn.…
I won't hide it, if I were in Charlie's place, I would cancel the wedding, and if I were in Emma's place, I would file for divorce, and not play back in the final scene in the cafe.
The groom's speech hit the very heart, this is perfect love according to the theory of Robert Sternberg: 1) "you're my best friend" is about emotional intimacy; 2) we have great sex; 3) well, obligations, we see that he did not postpone or cancel the wedding with Emma.
It is strange that someone writes that the twist in the film allegedly does not concern Russia. 🙈🙉🙊 I'm amazed at people.
Our children go through the frame at school, except not with a gun, but with knives and hammers. Teachers are in intensive care with fractured skulls, guards are injured, children are dead. And that's just what is known. Schools often try to hide everything from law enforcement officers, law enforcement officers from the media, and the media end up being blamed by the legislature and State Duma deputies for what they published.
Bottom line: in 2026, we only watch the "scary American" movie about bullying, which also turned out to be about someone else's perfect love.

Perhaps the Russian localization spoils it, perhaps on the contrary, it conveys the original too well, but it was extremely difficult to watch this film.

The main negative character here is Charlie. As many here have already put it, he's an outspoken mumbler, but that's just the icing on the cake. The pulp is in his absolute, completely unhealthy, insanity and complete rejection of everything they've been through for two years. He had such doubts and was so fixated on it, as if she had really shot someone, and he had known her for a month and now he was going to irrevocably link his life with her.
She doesn't need to be treated, she accepted herself a long time ago and changed a long time ago, but he needs to see a psychiatrist urgently.
A separate detail, among other things, is that he is a pathological liar, and this is literally shown from the very first scene of the film.

It's a special charm to see the bridesmaids as the person who literally makes people like Emma appear. She injured the child, abandoned him, did not confess to anyone, and to the last denies that she is to blame for anything. When I found out Emma's secret, being supposedly a friend, I didn't even try to find out anything, ask, I just immediately ran into her and started bullying. And even at the wedding, she also insulted her in her speech. I'm sure she considers herself a victim and a righteous person to the last.

Perhaps this topic is not close to us, which is why it is so difficult for me to understand the motives of the film and the essence of the plot, but for me, this is an absolutely sucked story. If such situations are real, and if people like Charlie are real, you should walk around them two blocks away and never trust anything important. And I'm really sorry that the movie ended with her going back to it and deciding to start all over again.

The question from the author to the public is whether criminal intentions have a statute of limitations and whether it is possible to convict a person for them? My position is that there is a statute of limitations and it ends exactly at the moment when a person abandons this intention for his own reasons. And it is obvious that condemnation will not solve anything, will not help or fix it in any way.

The acting is very good in the context of the narrative - watching it was painful, listening to it was painful, trying to tolerate the characters was painful.
I can't raise my hand to give this film a rating higher than 5/10.
If I have correctly assessed the message, then it carries good motives, but the methods and ambiguity of the situation strongly lubricate these motives. There are simply no positive characters here. Emma is also not shown from the best side. She had a short temper and hid part of her life from her fiance. Misha also had no intention of stopping Charlie. Everyone around is not good, and why it was necessary to blur the contrast is not clear to me. Show that everyone is an asshole? Thank you, but there are too many things in life trying to show this, I don't want to lose faith in people anymore.

I have nothing to do with Pattinson, but it's clear that the actor is not bad, rather good. I think I'll get into it again.
I didn't understand the universal love for Zendaya. I watched the first movie with her, well, she seems nice, but so far there's nothing to be a fan of.

The movie is good and looks great, without sagging :)

It seems to me that in the adult world, two sides faced revelations at that dinner - those who bullied at school (Raycher and Charlie) and the one who was bullied. Charlie and Rachel both talked about incidents where they bullied other children (were aggressors). But in order to want to arrange a shooting at school, you really need to bring this person to this point, and as a rule, this is done by very harassed guys. And Emma was a victim of bullying, it's unlikely that the desire to kill everyone just happened. But bullies will never understand what it's like to be a bitch and what feelings and motivations they may have for revenge out of desperation. The guy Charlie hunted down could well have been the shooter from the mall or any other place, if his psyche had been a little weaker, which would have made him no less involved in these murders. But they're running around clucking about how bad Emma is, although as soon as she found company to her liking and a kind attitude towards herself, she abandoned this idea - it means there's more humanity in her than in those who can't even repent at the age of thirty about bullying their younger peers and sympathize with the victims.
