Review of Detention (2012) by Linda L — 08 Dec 2012
This movie is amazing. It's like nothing I've ever seen before. I think part of the reason why it's getting such shitty reviews is because Detention targets a younger generation - not in terms of its maturity level but rather the techy social milieu of the Millennial.
But of course, the people doing the ratings are a bunch of world-weary cranky old farts who don't appreciate Detention's brilliant quirkiness. Just because it doesn't immediately evoke sharp emotions or insights doesn't mean it's a badly written, directed and produced film - it's just different!
It's super quirky and not for everyone; it targets a niche audience rather than profiteering after the lowest common denominator, or trying to impress the pretentious critics who are so eager to denounce new styles of art.
