Editorial Reviews

It's only a matter of time.
 
From 20-year-old writer/producer/director Murali K. Thalluri comes the shattering drama of six high school students and the day that will change their lives forever. Each one including a popular jock, an awkward outcast, a fragile beauty, an academic overachiever and a closet homosexual has a dark secret. Every secret carries its own tortuous weight. And for one of them, the pressure will explode today at exactly 2:37. Teresa Palmer (The Grudge 2, The Sorcerer s Apprentice), Frank Sweet and Sam Harris lead a remarkable ensemble cast in this controversial indie that has been called unblinking (Montreal Mirror), extraordinary (Hoopla) and electrically revelatory (In Film), and remains one of the most shockingly accurate portrayals of high school teens in cinema today.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2:37, another hit from Australia, May 15, 2010

This review is from: 2:37 (DVD)

I just viewed this film for the third time. This fine analysis of kids at an Australian high school, how they see each other, but also (throught their personal comments) how they feel to themselves. Various stories wind around each other, intersecting, impacting and not, the stories of the lives of these kids, all leading up to a tragedy at 2:37 P.M. These high school students and their pain in this life (remember high school, it's a miracle I survived), their struggle to get on with it are deeply affecting to me. Being inside their skulls is sometimes almost unbearable. This is a very fine film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Film, July 7, 2008

Jes (Edmonton, Alberta) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 2:37 (Two Thirty 7) [NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2&4 Import - Australia] (DVD)

I rented this movie, having no idea what it was about and began the movie only half watching it as I did other things. By the end of the movie I was in tears and online ordering myself a copy.

I hadn't seen Elephant by Gus Van Sant so I didn't feel like it was a rip off of that movie while watching it. I did rent Elephant afterwards and thought that movie was a complete waste of my time.

2:37 deals with many teen issues and I think everyone watching will either relate personally to one of the characters or know someone they can relate to one of the characters.

It's not fast paced, but this movie is worth taking the time to sit and listen to what the characters have to say.

Great writing and great acting!

This review is from: 2:37 (Two Thirty 7) [NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2&4 Import - Australia] (DVD)

Some of the reviews align this with Elephant, yes, there are some similarities, like: it takes place in a high school, it's very segmented in the story telling - but that's it. It's really a very different product than Elephant. It's loaded with rebellion, hatred, bigotry, obsession, and a few others that would spoil it for you. Well worth watching and owning - I'll be passing my copy around to my friends. . .
