After a party, teenage Melinda becomes reticent. At the beginning of the new semester, she met a new classmate, Heather. Although she did not like Heather, she could only be with Heather. Her former best friends all thought her calling the police at the party was a betrayal of them and alienated her, especially her former best friend Rachel no longer had contact with her, spending all day with her new Boyfriend Andy mixed up. In the Chinese class, the teacher pronounced their names in her broken English; in the biology class, she was in a group with Dave; in the art class, the teacher asked her to learn to draw a tree; in the history class, the teacher was a domineering nation Anist...her world becomes oppressed by memories and reality, and she starts trying to draw strange things. She finally made up her mind to tell the truth, what happened between her and Andy at the party, why did she call the police... She was no longer silent.

    At that time, Kristen Stewart was really skinny and young, but he was so contagious that it made people easily immersed in the depression. Kristen Stewart should return to independent film and stay away from commercial ravages. ★★★☆

    Be a tree. It will be better if there are more performances on the characters of the American school film that are very desirable. The ending is abrupt and stereotyped. I think the heroine will counterattack.

  • Mr. Freeman: [to Melinda] Hey! You're the tree. Uh, you can eat lunch in here if you want. It's against school rules, but I'm kind of a rebel.

    [gives Melinda a sheet of paper]

    Mr. Freeman: Wow, uh. It's not a place mat. The rule is if you're gonna be in here, you need to be working, so choose your weapon.

    [puts some pencils in front of Melinda]

    Mr. Freeman: Do something, anything. Hey, does this inspire you?

    [points to the radio]

    Mr. Freeman: No?

    [changes the radio station]

    Mr. Freeman: Hmm?

    [Melinda nods her head]

    Mr. Freeman: So are you going trick or treating tonight?

    Melinda Sordino: No.

    Mr. Freeman: Oh. You don't like candy?

    Melinda Sordino: I'm too old.

    Mr. Freeman: Oh, right. Yeah, I got kids, so I guess I never get too old.

    Melinda Sordino: Last year, we were witches.

    Mr. Freeman: Who's we?

    Melinda Sordino: My ex-best friends.

    [angrily crumbles up her drawing]

    Mr. Freeman: What are you doing? No, no! You gotta give things a chance.

    [looks at the drawing]

    Mr. Freeman: Close your eyes. Just do it. I'm the teacher. Can you picture a tree? Any tree.

    [sees Melinda's eyebrows bend]

    Mr. Freeman: There it is. It's burned in your retina. You got it. Do it.

  • Andy Evans: Coming? Hello? Earth to Rachel! Alright.

    [gets back into his car]

    Andy Evans: Okay, what did I do this time? Hmm, tell me.

    Rachel Bruin: Remember when you asked me about Melinda Sordino? The girl in the art room. Why did you ask me if I was friends with her?

    [Andy stares and says nothing]

    Rachel Bruin: Do you know her? How do you know her?

    Andy Evans: [irritated] I was looking for you. Bitch!
