Oscar-winning performance (SPOILERS)
By Paulie the Raptor. The rest of the cast took the back seat and let her carry the show, which she was more than capable of doing. What a great actress!
This movie was superb. It excelled in unexpected ways, showing the script writers' and the director's deep understanding of this type of angst. Unfortunately, I was expecting one scene that never materialised. I was sort of hoping the new girl would console Paulie in a hot scene, or that there would be a scene with all three girls. However what there was, was actually really nicely shot and acted. It was great.
I started watching this movie with a different sense of enjoyment. It's a perfect setting: the private boarding school for rich girls. It's a great hook. Later on as it unfolded as a sensitive drama I was still enjoying it and wasn't disappointed at all. The ending was incongruous however. I didn't think it was necessary to sacrifice Paulie like that. She was a tough character.
