Editorial Reviews

Australia released, PAL/Region 2.4 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), English ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), English ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (1.78:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Commentary, Deleted Scenes, Featurette, Interactive Menu, Making Of, Photo Gallery, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: A suicide victim has been discovered in the bathroom of Adelaide High School at precisely 2:37 p.m., and now time is about to shift back to the morning of this strange tragedy to show just how any of six potential victims could have fallen victim to that overwhelming ennui in director Murali K. Thalluri's quietly desperate drama. Life as a teenager is far from easy in the new millennium, and sometimes the comforts of modern society can inadvertently lead to isolation. A series of dark secrets are about to emerge from the hallways of Adelaide High, from the struggles of an unwanted pregnancy to the all-consuming inner turmoil of an outwardly confident athlete, the daily trials faced by an abused outcast, the social pressures that pile onto a girl with an eating disorder, the pressures placed upon a 'straight 'A'' student, and the drug-addled efforts of a desperate teen to elude his inner-demons, it seems like any number of students could have made that unfortunate, and irreversibly permanent, decision. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Australian Film Institute, ...2:37 (AU) ( Two Thirty 7 )

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
By 
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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good . . ., February 24, 2008
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. . .
