    Thought provoking and very convincing, perfect acting. Was absorbed by the film, thought it was great and showed a different perspective. Chilling movie.

    Nothing short of a masterpiece!!! Just SEE IT...it's by far the best true-crime movie ever made! Too bad AVATAR ruined it with a crappy release. Not for the faint of heart. Coccio needs to make more movies.

    Strikingly original, amazingly amateur and horrifyingly honest. These two actors should be encouraged to use this film as their resume forever and always. They are too good in this mockumentary to not be considered for future work. You will find yourself upset that you connect, that you find humor in their daily pursuits, and that you choke in the climax. The honesty in this film is that you learn nothing but that which is within you the audience member and how it affects you - positive or negative.… Expand

    Too much like Columbine to not be disturbing. Scary to see those kids playing with guns. However, a lot of the dialogue was interesting, true, insightful, to name a few.

    This can be a very distructive movie, and ca pass as a "how to shoot up your school" film. If I wasnt told that this is a movie, I would beleve that it was a REAL Documentary. The acting in this movie is very close to perfect. This movie should be rated a MA just for the Violence and psycological effects it might have on younger view.

    A rather lazy film; not as insightful as, say, "Elephant." Powerful lead performances cannot conceal the fact that the Coccios are too lazy to attempt to give reasons for the shootings, let alone answers. [***SPOILERS***] (The killers' repeated calls that there are no reasons for their massacre is, of course, a paradox--one Ben Coccio does not even hint at exploring.) 6/10

    This isn’t exploitation; this is a look at how things may have been with Harris and Klebold, and how something like this could easily happen again.

    Cocchio's film isn't as poetic as Gus Van Sant's hauntingly beautiful (far more expensive) "Elephant," but it has a power and immediacy that makes it much more worthwhile than "Home Room."

    What gives the movie its power is that even the most innocuous scenes in the boys' lives are shadowed by dread.
