Rating: 
I stumbled upon this film thinking it would be a delightful watch, but also knowing that movies centered around high school reunions can sometimes be a hit or miss. The plot revolves around a diverse group of characters reuniting for their 10-year high school reunion. Some have their lives together, some have matured, some are still lost, and others are desperately trying to escape their past.
The story itself had its moments of brilliance, boredom, and predictability. However, I found myself becoming invested in the characters as the film progressed. Some characters I adored, while others I wanted to give a good smack for their foolish decisions. The camera work in this film is what truly stole the show for me. The seamless transitions from one conversation to another kept me engaged and impressed throughout.
Although the storyline may drag at times, the exceptional cinematography truly elevates the overall viewing experience. The way the camera effortlessly navigates through a room full of people is a sight to behold. So, if you decide to give this film a watch, pay close attention to the camera work – it’s what makes this movie shine. In the end, despite its flaws, the film manages to bring out the best in its story thanks to its clever filming techniques.
