Imaginative, impetuous and wild, Diana (Evan Rachel Wood) can't wait for her adult life to begin. Whiling away the final days of high school in the lush springtime, Diana tests her limits with sex and drugs as her more conservative friend Maureen (Eva Amurri) watches with concern. But Diana's aura of invincibility is shattered when a senseless act of violence erupts at school, forever changing the lives of the two best friends.
Fifteen years later, a grown Diana (Uma Thurman) is still trying to come to terms with the traumatic events of that fateful day.
On the surface, the adult Diana has made a picture perfect life for herself. She's still living in the sleepy Connecticut suburb she grew up in with her husband Paul, a professor at the local college. Her beautiful young daughter, Emma, is smart and creative, and possesses a fiercely independent streak reminiscent of her mother. But all is not well -- as the anniversary of her adolescent trauma approaches, the darkness that Diana has tried to escape closes in. Meanwhile, her husband has become increasingly absent, her daughter has taken to hiding from teachers, and worst of all, Diana's own grip on reality is starting to falter.
The movie was so good. The acting, storyline and ending was awesome. Her life flashed before her eyes as she was dying on the bathroom floor. Only the Professors lecture made me understand the ending .
I did like the movie but i found myself at the end of the movie thinking okay what is the plot of the storyline? I have a few conclusions to draw but with no real answer maybe thats what the producer was trying to capture that you are left asking questions.
I too felt that I was waiting the entire movie for something interesting to happen. The ending was aweful and I felt like there had to be a storyline that flew over my head.
