Antonio Campos delivers a slow and hypnotically paced film that keeps it's audience on edge with just a few disturbing scenes that leave the viewer to speculate rather than to spell it all out. The film deals with Robert, a school kid who's camera pics up the death of two school girls, and the events around the deaths. Robert seems to be just a shy kid at first, a regular teen. But there's soon revealed to be a darker side to him and a rather disassociated psych. In this generation of dissociation through images, these are themes myself and my own generation are dealing with today. There is hope in the chaos that the film puts forth and some good natured characters all dealing with guilt surrounding the death of the two girls. But there is an eye opening eeriness to the detachment and the falseness of some people in these situations. 8 out of ten stars

They should call this movie "School" because the movie was just as boring as it. The Movie was a long slow and boring movie leading up to nothing. It was a complete waste of time. I Do not recommend seeing this movie, it is boring and the so called "TWIST" at the end was not much of a twist at all. The slow shots where things were cut off were really annoying, and I didn't enjoy watching a boy masturbate for no apparent reason for the movie. I also didn't enjoy staring at the back of his head for like an hour. terrible movie, not worth watching, not worth anything, I wouldn't waste 90 minutes of my life on this movie, I recommend watching "You're Next"

Though it undoubtedly bears promise, this is a film which will test your patience like few others. The film is slow-paced, which one could argue is a way for Campos to build further isolation from the main character, yet fails to depict anything interesting in its entire running time.The characters are all cardboard-thin, save for the protagonist whose loneliness and eccentricity is apparent yet inaccessible. Believe me, I tried to feel some sort of emotional connection with him, but never achieved much except a strong yearning to fast forward the film through conversations that initially felt pointless and ultimately proved to be so. If Campos can take his skills of plot-structuring and possibly add more dialog to further reveal other aspects of his characters, then I strongly believe he has the potential to make an excellent film, but I just found this one to be an inaccessible drag.

I can certainly see why some people wouldn't like this movie; the pacing is slow to the point that people raised on "Cloverfield" (which I happened to enjoy) and the like will probably be slitting their wrists. But, having attended a school like the one in the movie, I can tell you that the level of realism is startlingly accurate; each character could easily be someone who I knew in high school.If you enjoy restrained directing and acting, this is an absolute must see. It is one of the few movies that almost makes you forget there is a camera involved; it is like your own private lens into the world. I rarely give a movie a perfect score, but this one earned it.
