Afterschool (2008)

Robert is a student at a boarding school, who spends a lot of time on his computer. He has a small crush on a girl in his AV club, and gets along fairly well with his roommate, Dave (Jeremy Allen White). 

Robert’s school life changes when he accidentally captures the death of two popular seniors on video while filming an assignment for the AV club. As Robert deals with his association in the twins’s death, he finds that his roommate Dave is struggling with the deaths as well. 

Honestly, I’m finding it extremely difficult to write this review. This film is amazing.

Overall: I absolutely love this movie. It is one of those rare films that digs deeper, offers a different insight and radiates originality. A true gem. 

Something I found interesting (although not surprising) was that the producer of Martha Marcy May Marlene directed this film. The style of filmmaking definitely reminded me of Afterschool, and vice-versa. I must admit - while something about MMMM felt off for me, this film scores high in my book.  

I recommend to: Any fans of MMMM may be interested in this, but really I think any film buff would find this film to be unique and interesting.
