Most of The Failures is typical teenage angst. I found myself laughing but unimpressed by the characters. But when Lilly takes an active interest in William's suicide, I perked up. Though the plot that ensues is predictable and trite, this sudden interest of hers is surprising and almost adorable.
The last half hour is worth the rental fee. I wish I could expound upon it further, but that would give away the end. But it points the camera at us and forces the audience to examine what we live for.
It's worth a watch if you have access to it but it's not likely to become a classic for me.
