 Re: 2:37
Brilliantly acted little film in the vein of Gus Van Sant's Elephant but I would contend, better. The film concerns the lives of six high school students on a faithful day during which one of them will commit suicide at 2:37 in the afternoon. Which one and why is the mystery that fuels the film. Teresa Palmer, as one of the students, is simply brilliant, showing her character's considerable emotional pain with nuanced ease. Her character's journey is beyond heartbreaking and she is amazing every step of the way.
Grade - A

 Re: 2:37
Palmer was discovered while working at an ice cream shop in Adelaide. She seems like such a sweetheart from interviews. Michael Bay likes her so she has a chance to be big in Hollywood. Too bad Sorcerer didn't work out for her. He cast her in I Am Number Four, an upcoming sci-fi film directed by DJ Caruso (Eagle Eye, Disturbia). Hopefully, she fulfills that promise and becomes a common presence in movies. She's a professed animal lover so she is even more awesome.

 Re: 2:37
I really liked it myself. Teresa Palmer was great.
I'd either give it a solid B or a B+.
