Watch 2:37 For Free

Too much of everything

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Good movie but grossly overrated

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

When the movie started i felt the perfection.For teenager education parents should watch this movie.The movie shows the reality of life and gives examples what students face each day in the school.Really touchy movie and and catchy story that i never forget in my life.To be honest mostly people think life is colorful and worths to live after the movie there is obvious message that life is not that such colorful.The love, tears, laughter and many feelings i had when i was watching this movie.It shows somehow the pointless ways of life and the tragic coincidences of life.

We don't see many Australian movies. It looks good when you look at it from the social point of view. Trying to get attention to high school students' problematic lives. Actually the lives are not very exaggerated. The story is not bad. It makes you think why an innocent girl commits suicide. Interviews with characters are not very exciting. As being the first movie of the director, filmography is quite good but I cannot say it's extraordinary. I cannot say you must see this movie but it's not a waste of time. Actors and actresses perform good. Starts with some curiosity and makes you wonder about who's going to suicide. You make guesses when you are watching. The end is a surprise. It makes you ask why. Some scenes can be really hard to watch for some people.

This film was dedicated to movie maker's friend. These events can be in every school; especially in high schools. Because, students are many problems during their adolescences. They can be very stressful, aggressive and sad. Every person encounters these problems. If there is not anyone who deals with their problems, they can be out of the control like in this film. So, their families, teachers or relatives should save them from a dangerous world. There is a popular boy like in every high school film. In this film, it was Luke. Firstly, I guessed that Sean is a murder who looks at Luke. Sean must have been jealous of Luke's girlfriend whose name is Melody. Sean would kill him. But, it was not like this. He was a gay who likes Luke. There is a boy who wets himself. He cannot control himself whose name is Steven. He is so shy because of his situation. He has no friend except of Kelly. Kelly is so helpful girl. Kelly's brother is also have problems. Kelly has a new life with her brother. His name is Marcus. He is a pervert. Because of this event, Kelly killed herself. It had an unhappy ending. This film made me pessimist. I will be an teacher. This film showed me that I have to take a big responsibility. So, I like this film even if there have a lot of disgusting things.Hatice Şahin

In the late 1930s and early 1940s, Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, et al., tried to present American high school as a la-de-da-da musical experience in the ANDY HARDY bushel of movies. Though life did not turn out to be a bowl of cherries for either of these stars, that did not prevent tons of subsequent high-school-is-such-a-happy-place, we-all-have-to-sing fairy tales including GREASE, FOOTLOOSE, HAIRSPRAY, the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL trilogy, the current GLEE television series, ad infinitum from being foisted upon the public. Just as millions of high school football concussions go a long way toward producing an all-volunteer military, thousands of singing 20-somethings posing as teenagers lull parents who have repressed their own prep memories into thinking maybe school ain't so bad nowadays. Conversely, high school as one big party was epitomized with FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF in 1986 (perhaps to ease the minds of parents realistic enough to admit their kids can't carry a tune). However, many kids would rather "play" in Jigsaw's torture warehouse than attend their assigned high school. From the twisted societal pigeon-holing that messed up Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty's characters in SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS (1961), to the horror show director Richard Kelly placed DONNIE DARKO in (2001), or the Columbine re-imagining Gus Van Zant accomplished with ELEPHANT (2003) and subsequent effort by Vadim Perelman to layer in the futility of youthful religious zealotry with his THE LIFE BEFORE HER EYES (2007), it is clear that high school is more something that happens to you, as opposed to something you can control (as in Andy Hardy's unrealistic refrain "let's put on a show" to solve every problem, or the implausibly unpunished charmed lives led by Ferris Bueller's ilk).In the masterful 2:37, director Murali K. Thalluri consciously adopts Van Zant's story-telling style to show the underside of high school life "Down Under." Accurately portraying high school as a cesspool of hypocrisy and callousness where children are finishing the job of transforming themselves from comparatively innocent short people who tell it like it is into the self-centered liars society expects them to become by graduation day, 2:37 deftly reinforces the notion that it's the quiet ones you have to look out for.
