The Fallout

10/10 ❤ - The Fallout on Netflix is a raw and emotional look at the trauma and healing after a school shooting. It explores grief, fear, and finding hope in the aftermath. Jenna Ortega delivers a powerful and heartfelt performance. It’s a heavy but worth-watching film.

This is such a stellar movie I wanted to watch it again. I actually had not heard of this movie until it appeared on HBO Max. Jenna Ortega has dropped a series of great movies this year, and this is easily her best role of the bunch. It’s truly a tragic movie from start to end that manages to somehow be very entertaining. It’s certainly not gonna be a movie everyone loves to watch, but it’s one I would highly recommend because of its execution.

Rating: 4.5/5 - 9/10 - Highly Recommend

Such an emotional movie. Really good story line, I need a part 2!

This is a movie about trauma and recovering from it, specially when you are young and already naturally lost already.
While it starts with a shooting, it could have started with any other kind of traumatic situation. It truly connects with what really victims live and how they try to move on. It also teach us the importance we play has friends, parents or teachers.
I also love that this movie is about the “normal” people that are not perfect, because that’s us. The ones that spend countless days looking at the tv and are not able to move. We are not the new leader that emerged from a trauma.
Jenny Ortega and the score from Finneas are brilliant in portraying this numbness and emotional feeling.

A very deep, emotional, slow, moving movie about the aftermath of a school shooting for three teenagers who did not really know each other beforehand. It was a little quick to the point in the beginning, but after that, the character development and plot development was very well done as the director did a great job in casting the main two actressesto portray the deep emotional wreck that has to be cleaned up after they experienced a school shooting. But at the same time, this was a beautiful story of how a few teenagers found out different things about themselves and made a few new friends out of it and how it has made them stronger.

Must've sat there for a good five minutes after watching this with my mouth hanging open. So incredibly well done.

Solid movie, the acting is great and that opener is both horrendous and masterfully shot. This movie has a great plot, something spoken about a lot but rarely transcended to film.

A painfully honest look at the emotional aftermath of school shootings in the USA from a teenager's perspective. It's hard to watch, but worth the time.

Pretty well acted and immersive story dealing w difficult subject matter. The abject horror they feel at the outset is palpable and well portrayed.

There were some slow parts, but overall this was worth the watch. Fun fact: Maddie Ziegler who plays Mia is the girl from the Sia music videos (most famously "Chandelier").
7.4 for me.

A good movie with some great dialogues and good perfomance from Ortega.6.8/10
