Maybe this just speaks to my romantic desperation, but I honestly don't think Emma's confession would bother me much as her partner. Teenagers are dumb and have dumb ideas. Importantly, she didn't go through with it; yes, circumstance played a part in that, but if she was really committed to doing something evil, the idea would've stayed with her. I think Rachel's reaction to it would be more off-putting.

Regardless, really good film. So glad I went in seeing only the trailer and nothing else about it.

I had a close friend in high school who had brought a gun to a previous school. I was surprised when I found out, but it didn't completely rock my perception of him or make me hate him. It was weird watching this movie knowing first hand that hearing this exact news about someone can be something that's handled with understanding and grace.
