13 Reasons Why

13 Reasons Why (2017) 

A painful high school romance, paced by a precise soundtrack, perfectly mapping the journey to suicide in ways we often downplay or (un)intentionally overlook. This makes it all the more frustrating that the attempt at an almost mysterious atmosphere is shattered by the fact that the reason why Clay doesn't listen to all 13 recordings right away, and quite pointlessly puts it off, is simply not rationally defensible in any way. This means that even the ending, which wants to let the storyline of all-encompassing hypocrisy stand out, can't fully live up to it; the à propos Dylan Minnette is an autistic actor, utterly pointlessly harassed by the show's creators; by contrast, Katherine Langford will one day be a big star. 4 ½.
