Review of Struck by Lightning (2013) by Anne T — 30 Nov 2017

This is not the usual teen film. It is an example of perseverance and over coming obstacles. As a driven and big picture thinking individual, Carson is looking forward to creating his own future. The limited views of his mother, classmates and school administration frustrate his ability to spring free.

His high school activities are aimed at getting into the top school for his chosen career and he is willing to use blackmail to succeed. But he also impacts the students he uses. I recommend seeing the student eulogies provided in the extra features on the DVD (these would be good to include in a director's, or extended version).
