so very clearly a kid's movie, but fun nonetheless.
the story is interesting and the visuals are pretty good for a nickelodeon kid's movie from 2008.
the pacing is a bit fast, but expected from a production that attempts to adapt a book series into a 1h30 movie.
would rewatch any day, 100% a childhood favourite. 5 starts out of love and nostalgia, 3,5 for quality.
a dark-academia classic: sad, beautiful and meaningful.
the story is compelling, seemingly so, and beautiful. all the scenes, conversations and symbols represent youth and the beauty of life, tragic as it may.
dps is such a devasting and perspective-changing experience.
always a good rewatch, although one must prepare mentally and emotionally beforehand.
although the story is interesting, the visuals most definitely are the highlight of this production.
lily rose-deep did a pretty good job as ellen, but i felt aaron taylor-johnson's acting lacked in emotion and depth.
overall, good experience but wouldn't watch again.
