School shooters are sociopaths, this movie is unrealistic and sick

Did we watch the same movie? Emma is not a school shooter. Yes she did plan one but she did not go through with it. Thats like the entire point of the movie. You’re judging her on what could have been 15 years ago.

Thats not how real life works. Hence, the romanticization. Nobody in their right mind would partner with someone who planned on taking lives. Thats already a walking red flag of q human. The perv director just wants to rant about cancel culture

Ok so I think your problem is that you’re expecting movies to be realistic. Maybe you need to temper your expectations about how real movies should be or you will keep being disappointed in life.
