Crime + Punishment in Suburbia Reviews
Nothing special
This particular story could be turned into a breath-taking film with the right director. Too much is held back, and the film seemed all too typical. The director does not give a true, gritty, raw look into the troubled life this young girl led, and the story that unfolded. On the bright side, Vincent Karthieser is brilliant, and hes about the only one. Though there is nothing that makes this film stand out as great, it is entertaining, and will keep your attention.
Overall, its worth watching. A decent film I suppose. But it wont be one for the ages. It wont be one that will leave you "shocked" or "stunned". For a true gritty look into the troubled lives of adolesence with a slightly similar story...A movie that will really leave you stunned, watch 'Bully' instead.
AN ANTITHESIS OF MOST MODERN TEEN GENRE FILMS!!
Never before have I seen such a sombre, and utterly dark film aimed at teens. I mean of course there was Heathers, but that of course had it's share of humour. Crime and Punishment in Suburbia, though it has changed most of the important roles in the novel around, has still managed to encapuslate the ideals that Dostoyevsky held so true. True love, honour, sin, and ultimately redemption are explored in a manner that is both sophisticated and entertaining. This movie is however, an accquired taste. Those teens who eat up the pulp pop products and image produced today like candy will not understand the films underlying message, and will likely be bored by the films slow pace. But us more intelligent teens will rejoice that for once, filmakers are not looking down on us as stupid people who will go to see whatever is thrown their way. If u missed it in theatres (since it was such a small release), catch it on video or dvd, and you will be treated to a cinematic journey unlike many I have experienced before. Show Hollywood that we enjoy smart films like this, if we don't, then we will endlessly be forced to watch repeated screenings of DUDE WHERES my CAR until eternity rolls around! Now that my friends is the true ideal of hell!
