Top Cast
Bernstein stages a few good, tense moments in the film’s second half — in particular a skate-chase scene on an iced-over stream — but Look Away mostly fails as a “killer teen” movie. The pace is too slow, and the mood too somber.

Dont listen to SJW oppinions - sex scenes didnt last for 20 minutes neither did naked scenes. The movie is clever in presenting transformation from good, naive child into typical (well, minus killing thing) cold adult. Main character was awesome and was supported by good performances from others.
Report
For a film with such a boring and forgettable title this was actually really good. It was engaging and interesting. Even though the core concept was relatively unoriginal, the execution is what makes this so entertaining. The casting is perfect and so is the acting. All of the cast feel right for the roles. The film is beautifully made, the cinematography and the music are literally perfect. There is a visual interest and variety so it never feels drab unlike some other similar films. It reminded me of S. Darko (2009) which I actually really enjoyed also. My only gripe was that I didn’t like the ending, it was a very disappointing ending for me. It reminded me of the weak ending for May (2002). Well worth watching but be prepared for a weak ending to a strong story.
Report
Look Away is an accomplishment in a directorial way. This is really very well directed and the cinematography is exemplary. The lead role is absolutely amazing and the rest of the cast feet perfectly to the film. The original score is really superb and have a real emotional impact on the scenes. The dark point of Look Away cames from the story, unfortunately the plot isn't as great as the technical aspect. Looks like a kind of strange variation on Stephen King's The Dark Half with a more schizophrenic part. If you're looking for a great screenplay you'll probably be disappointed but if you're looking for a well directed film it really deserves it.
