And Then I Go

This was a profoundly dull movie. It started off on the right foot, but all we saw was this main character Edwin getting bullied by classmates, neighbors, a teacher, his principal, and even his best friend. I liked seeing the closeness between the main character and his younger brother, but that was it. Absolutely nothing significant happened in this movie and no character grew or developed. The parents were just as bad as the bullies and provided no moral compass for their kid.

Here's what could have helped. We see that this young man is good at art. That topic was completely forgotten about. Also the principal suggested the social skills workshop. Why not give this main character the luxury of making more friends and finding his place in the school? The best friend Flake was an obnoxious and cruel kid- it was hard to take him seriously because he never had Edwin's back. Edwin is such a likable kid and was neglected the entire way through.

I will give a bit of praise for Arman Darbo's performance. His narration style and ability to show complex emotions were perfect. He really could be the next Leonardo DiCaprio.
