The cinematography in the trailer piqued my interest because it looked absolutely beautiful and as i already watched Twilight, thought maybe this could be a better version of that because by now the maker should have known what lacked in Twilight so that this one could be better. As usual, i was wrong.
The movie didn't deliver much in terms of depth or character growth. We don't know why Margaret was so attached to Rigel and awful to Nica. No elaboration over why the couple felt compelled to adopt two teenagers, that too just by seeing Rigel playing piano. Also why they thought their romance was forbidden when they are not even related.
The sexual tension was there between the leads but still felt a bit flat. And acting in places were also flat. The supporting actors from the school were really bad and that side story of the two girls wasn't needed in the sense that it didn't add any value to the story or had any impact on Nica's friendship with them. The lackluster third act as usual made no sense, it could have been something powerful but instead the court scene was almost cheesy because i don't think anyone talks like that in court.
One thing i must gush about is the background music, especially the piano piece playing through the movie is so soulful and soothing, it was the best thing in there, sorry to the composers that their masterpieces were wasted on such a mediocre cinema.
