OK, there were some faults in this film. I found the ending weak and some subplots were dropped.
However, I really liked the film. It was very well acted, particularly by the three rising stars that formed the nucleus of the film. It was beautifully filmed, Bishop's University looks like an amazing place to visit.
What was also interesting was, although the film was clearly set in the present day, so much of it seemed to be set in the 1950's, particularly the morals and social attitudes. Some may find fault in this, i would imagine that there is more than a little truth in this in many private schools, where conservatism perhaps rules.
Probably the closest I've seen to this film are the films of Patricia Rozema, particularly "When Night is Falling" (1995).
Well worth a watch!
