- Quotes
Emily: [Brent is holding up his phone off-screen, which shows a tweet from Jess: "#daterapist Brent Davick you can darken the night but I know what you did. DNA doesn't lie" and a side profile picture of him is shown. Brent silently moves his lips as he looks at the tweet and scrolls and sees who liked it, and he stops at Eharding98 and he angles his phone until it falls on his face and he falls into thought. Cut to Jess walking to her vehicle and Brent indirectly watching her from his own vehicle. She carefully gets in and starts the car and begins maneuvering it to drive away. She drives past Brent, who is blended in with the rest of the cars, hiding his face. He looks at her, maneuvers himself and follows her. Cut to Emily's school] Sorry. I didn't mean to stare.
Jess: [unapologetic] I'm a lot bigger because of the twins.
Emily: You know, it kinda makes me feel like I'm lucky in a way.
[Jess' face is frozen in a smile]
Emily: I mean, Brent raped me, but I didn't get pregnant.
[sinister music as Brent is studying them from his vehicle, both seated on a stone bench talking]
Jess: Can I ask you, how much do you remember?
Emily: Not a lot... we'd gone out a couple of times. The third time, he wanted to sleep with me and I said no. He seemed okay with it, so he took me home... except I don't remember getting home. I just remember the next morning knowing he'd... I had a rape kit and a drug test done. I had everything I needed to nail him and then his father offered us a deal. I know how that makes and my parents look, but it was the only way I was able to go to college.
Jess: It's okay.
Emily: No, it's not. Because look at what happened to you.
[the music darkens and Brent is seen again staring at them intently]
Emily: I don't care about this deal. Let them sue me; I am gonna talk...
[shakes her head]
Emily: so he can't ever do this again.
[sensitive music is heard and Jess gives her Murray's card]
Jess: Here.
[sinister music plays once again and Brent still studies them intently and curiously]
Emily: [looks at card and back at Jess] I have to get back to class.
Jess: Yeah, okay.
Emily: I'm gonna go home and talk to my parents. I have to tell them what I'm gonna do. They signed the deal, too, but tomorrow, I promise that I'll talk to this detective.
Jess: Thank you, Emily.
Emily: [sincerely] Good luck. With everything.
Jess: Thanks.
[begins gathering her things and heartfelt music plays in the background]
Emily: Yeah.
Jess: Bye.
[stands and leaves and now foreboding music plays and Brent's point of view is seen and the camera cuts to third person and shows him getting out of the vehicle]
Emily: [on the phone, walking] Yeah. That's great, Mom. Alright. I'll see you in about an hour.
[hangs up the phone and Brent immediately gets in her path]
Brent: Why were you talking to Jess?
Emily: Did you follow me?
Brent: You better not be planning on breaking the deal. My father will sue you.
Emily: Leave me alone.
Brent: I hope you have like a million dollars. Because you're gonna need it.
Emily: You and your dad don't call the shots anymore, Brent. Sue all you'd like.
[mysterious music as they are paused in front of each other for a second and she walks past him and he looks back at her]
It accurately portrays the often overlooked struggles of daterape victims, and sheds some much-needed light on how disregarded the poorer female voices are in the "justice" system and the deep mental sickness that can live within privileged families. No, it was not AMAZING, but it deserves to be rated higher. It was worth the watch, and should be celebrated more for bringing awareness to such a drastic, realistic, terrifying, impactful, and FULLY POSSIBLE situation.
This film deserves more credit and recognition for what it accomplished. I ask you to give it a chance, even if it's just 30 minutes. It deserves that, at least. I ask you to look past all the cruel digs at the actors and cinematography. The young actors did as well as possible, especially in such challenging, emotional roles.
Again, not perfect. But beyond worth it. And one of a kind. I hope it becomes as impactful as it should be. Especially in today's society, which tragically sees these situations more than ever.
