I think this is a niche youth film.

People like Nadine will feel that the film is inaccurate, the kind of sensitivity, low self-esteem, loneliness, helplessness, hysteria, and the inability to reconcile with themselves in the adolescence of a few people. Crazy, want to catch The only love around you is always on guard against being taken away, even if it causes trouble for your friends. Brother Nadine is a popular campus idol. Like beautiful people, she is a so-called youthful person. Her best friend is an ordinary person like most people, but even the heroine's brother and best friend will feel that she is To do, unreasonable, self-inflicted. She is. But the deep sense of powerlessness behind these behaviors, they do not understand and have no way of understanding. After all, people can only save themselves. But this doesn't completely excuse all her actions. She can't save herself, so everyone has a hard time. In fact, she is also very naive and selfish.
But I still really like Nadine. She's a really annoying guy, but she's also genuine and sincere. Her character has been explained from the beginning of the plot. She was bullied at school when she was 7 years old and refused to get out of the car. Although there is no way of knowing why this situation happened, it may have been done since she was a child? But she felt helpless since she was a child, and as she grew up, her father was the only person who patiently understood and comforted her. The death of her father was a big blow, not only the grief of the death of her relatives, but also the spiritual The collapse of the pillars of the world. She is a saboteur and a hedgehog. She has always been careful to hide her true heart. When she fell in love with Nick, she was also sincerely in love with her. She had a conflict with her mother and sent an ambiguous confession message under the impulsive impulse, but Nick just came to make an appointment. Cannon, and she thought it was emotion that responded. That part was really interesting, and Nadine was also very distressed when she burst into tears after getting out of the car. Including when she was so lonely and embarrassed that she could only find a spare Asian boy, Evan, to relieve her boredom, she did not take any further actions with him casually, nor did she suggest too much. Nadine at this time was a lonely and sincere person. But by no means a casual girl.
Is the happy ending unreasonable? I don't think so. There will be relative reconciliation after the conflict, because after the conflict, there will be communication and a moderate mutual understanding, but it is not a complete relief and everyone is happy. After all, there is no mutual understanding at the beginning, and it will not be in the future, just my brother and mother. They will try to deal with Nadine peacefully, and Nadine will also try to understand them and reduce each other's scolding and unnecessary quarrels. Nadine and her girlfriends will not go back to the past, but they will play peacefully without hatred. Some people say that the way Nadine greeted Evan's friends at the end is like the way she laughed at her best friend's integration into her brother's circle, she became another best friend (she used to despise), but it's not, maybe This is the normal state. Nadine has gradually changed from a hedgehog to a peaceful person and a normal person. Yes, it is normal. No one wants to know every day whether your heart is broken when you smile. That's it. Nadine changed from being flammable and explosive, lonely and selfish to being hello me, hello everyone, sincere and loving you and me and his girlfriend, from a niche to a public. There is nothing good or bad or whether it has been changed, it is just a change of character-----probably can be called growth (growth is neutral), and the catalyst is probably the love and warmth from the outside world. , so I really like her mother, brother, teacher, and Evan who gave her a little love to some extent. A little love and a little warmth together changed her state.
