2:37 (2006)

Admirable film.

A Masterpiece!

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I think this Australian film has to be one of deepest and darkest drama films I've seen.This film is brilliant, an excellent as the story, but you will absolutely find it shocking and disturbing.The beginning scene showed that someone committed suicide at 2:37 pm in school, but don't tells me who did die, so the story begins tells from the start of the day, there are 6 main teen characters (Teresa Palmer's character is one of them). All these main characters had own personal problems, and it will make you wonder who one of these will kill himself at the end.It has terrible life stories and dark secrets, but this is what high school is like for many people. It's like the movie of the show "13 Reasons Why" from the 2000s.In the fact, Teresa Palmer was discovered on the street and cast in this movie without an audition and without ever having acted before. She was obviously the reason why I watched it lol. She gave a superb performance and her character had the darkest story.

We watched this film in class in order to hear the Australian accent. Because of this I focused on the player's speaking more than subject of the film. But as watched from the beginning to the end I thought that how the nonsense film because anybody in this film feel happy in any moment. And I do not like such a drama films very much especially in a crowded areas like class while everybody commenting. Except for this I think there was a no connection between events. I think the director and the scriptwriter wanted to us think about events and correlate them each other. And I tried but sometimes I could not correlate them. End of the film we all thought that the fat boy took his life, but when we saw the girl in blood we surprised. And I thought that she extremely right because she felt unhappy, alone and she is in depression. Until I watched this film I had found taking someone's own life nonsense but if I were her maybe I did the same thing. And in this film this depression that she in reflect the audiences successfully. I liked this film very much in this aspect.

I've never been so riled by a movie as this one- probably mainly because I've heard all Thalluri's pretentious comments that have gone with it in regard to its potential to save lives. In regard to the actual movie itself, I found the characters so 2 dimensional and chichedie, the 'cheerleader' was bulimic, the 'jock' was gay, the 'nerd' wet his pants (there is no talent in 'creating' such stereotypes)- and the movie didn't even begin to actually explore any depth to any of them, just simply presented the problems and 'suprised' us all by hysterically suiciding the one with the least screen time. I was personally annoyed by the gay themes- it was exactly as I imagine someone with no idea would think the struggle with coming to terms wit!h one's homosexuality would be like- the character locking himself in the closet with furious self-loathing was just hilarious! Overall, I think the entire movie was a beautifully packaged presentation of a rubbish script from someone without a scrap of insight to the very serious issues it attempted to tackle. (-And I agree with 'Boonda's comments on the 'lucky' statement at the end)

It's one of the best Australian Films I have seen in recent years. I shall start with a confession. Actually, I do not want to watch this film. But my teacher said that you must watch this film.So, I started to watch.The story takes place during a normal school day. It starts off with a suicide. at 2:37pm. The movie gives an insight into what unfortunately is everyday life for a lot of school kids. It shows us the "dark side" of high school - in other words every side of high school. Some of us live outside that environment and would walk by and not know what is happening. I think, our parents must watch this film, too. However, Some scenes are a little hard to watch…. It was a pleasure to see it .I applaud the fabulous casting of this film. We often watch troubled American children but often fail to understand. Because we I see, there is no problem in their life. . These are the stories of real kids. This film that leaves a big impact on its' viewers. The film sounds incredible. Ultimately, it's a beautiful made, but slightly disturbing look at teenage life. I wish, they show us some teenage's good sides.
