Review of To Save a Life (2009) by Hope D — 22 Feb 2013

This film needs to be understood in it's context to be appreciated. It isn't about religion, it isn't about school struggles it's about the significance of life choices and their implications.

While some of the tensions do seem forced the filmmakers avoid the mistake of oversimplifying the material. The characters are typical cliches of average people because these are the struggles of average people.
