My Take
Five kids, one Saturday, one detention room, and the five clichés of hischool students on the surface. The rebel who hates everything and answers to no one. The goth girl whose entire personality is "I want to die." The nerd who does homework for fun, like an actual lunatic. The jock who's just... good at sports, that's the whole bit. And the pretty girl who, shockingly, isn't a bitch about it for once. Lock them in a room for eight hours and watch the stereotypes crack open until what's underneath is a lot messier and a lot more human than any of them let on walking in. This movie is the embodiement of Walt Whitman’s “be curious not judgmental”.
▶Official Synopsis
Five high school students from different walks of life endure a Saturday detention under a power-hungry principal. The disparate group includes rebel John, princess Claire, outcast Allison, brainy Brian and Andrew, the jock. Each has a chance to tell his or her story, making the others see them a little differently -- and when the day ends, they question whether school will ever be the same.
