It's valentines day and after been in a car crash a teen keeps repeating the same day over and over. In order to carry on with her life she must figure out what needs to change in order for her to move on.
I found the movie OK, I would guess that the writer of this movie must have been a fan of groundhog day. The repeating the same day idea is the only thing that resembles that movie though as this does have its own storyline, you start to feel just as frustrated as the main character as even think of what she should be doing to rectify this and then get annoyed when she doesn't. I found the ending very disappointing indeed.

"This annoyed me at the time - like Animal House - because it was not historical. It was smearing late seventies ideas of street credibility over sixties mod. I thought it very doubtful that a top face would be working at a scrap yard, for instance. But who cares? I've seen it many times since and it's an excellent teen movie: a great soundtrack, strong cast - a new generation of actors like Ray Winstone, Phil Davies, Mark Wingett and Phil Daniels, who would go on to have lustrous careers - and an archetypal loner-vs-the-gang storyline. It's noticeable that as Jimmy gets weirder, he gets more androgynous. As the film goes on, the activities of the gang get so tiresome you don't blame him for breaking away."

"Finished this one last week and forgot to mark, but I loved it. I ended up taking a massive break for several months because I'm such a mood reader but I really have always loved this one. I remember missing the magic as a teen since Umbridge was being Umbridge but the last act remains one of the most exciting in the series. And I was really happy to get to revisit the scene where Harry talks to Nearly Headless Nick about why some wizards become ghosts and why most don't. I always wanted that scene in the movie, but it's beautifully done in the book. Also loved the extensive conversation between Harry and Dumbledore, which was also reasonably shortened in the film. #AdamRereadsHP"

Not much X appeal
Put off watching this for a while after mainly bad reviews for it. It's definitely a bit strange for an X-Men film as it feels much like a teen horror. It reminded me of @The Ward (2010) as these mutants are held in a creepy looking hospital facility that's isolated.
Thankfully the cast does have some talent and Anya Taylor-Joy steals the light in her scenes.
Once past the slow and dull first half of the film it did pick up a bit for the finale. Most likely disappointing for X-Men fans but Horror fans might like it more.
