An Algorithm (2017)

Korean gl cc. 2017.

A RANT
A high school story, not really a romance, about three girls and secrets and the consequences of betrayal. The story is well written, the actresses are excellent, the cinematography, all in the cold grays and pale blues filmes with a shaky handheld camera which conveys urgency and doom! There is no music whatsoever!

I loved it until the last 5 minutes ruined the whole film for me! Teens are impressionable but here it was taken too far for my liking! The girl is ostracized by the whole school because of a scandal, she bravely comes back and accepts to give an interview which goes haywire. So she cannot deal with a stupid little secret being revealed when the first time around it was even worse?

Why oh why oh why do they keep doing this? Why do we need to have things end tragically like this? Because real life is like that I guess but can't we just have a little bit of optimism in entertainment industry? Because queer stories are not the society norm so they should have the appropriate ending as a warning to those who veer of the right path?

Oh, give me a break!!!!!
