The film begins very light heartedly with an "average everyday life" of a teenage boy named Dominik. He's emotional, sensitive and just wants someone to understand him. Even though he tends to overreact to certain things and kind of falls into the stereotypical "angsty emo teenager", I found him very easy to relate to in (almost) every situation. The other characters are also great, every one of them is portrayed enough to give us the needed atmosphere for this touching story. The ending is the only part of this film that didn't go the way I thought it would, and it still fitted the story perfectly. All in all, I recommend Suicide Room to everyone. It might bring you back to those days when you felt like everything in your life was awful, or it might give you a different perspective of things. Either way, it's worth a watch.
I personally love this movie. I love the acting, and the way the movie was presented. I liked how it used both real life filming and a virtual world as well. It made it pretty interesting. Generally speaking, movies regarding these themes are pretty inaccurate and, I feel, don't very well get their point across. However, this movie surprised me at how well it presented the point, storyline, and themes.Being honest, though, I feel like the movie put too much unnecessary emphasis on Dominik being homosexual. When reading reviews and such, it appears to be a movie that will focus on a boy struggling with sexuality, but I ended up only getting that feeling from just a few minutes in the beginning. Throughout the rest of the movie, he is focusing on Sylwia.I also didn't like that Dominik was the typical rich kid, and the way that he changed was a bit sudden. The movie didn't really ease you in to him being crazy and a hermit. I felt like if he were changing slowly, it would have come out much better.Aside from these two little things, the movie is great to watch, and has an interesting storyline. It is definitely one of my favorites.
Do not watch if you are like me and seeing adorable boys die hurts don't watch. Usually I have a cold heart, but this made me depressed for weeks on end. When Dominik died it hurt me deep, and him screaming for his parents didn't help. That girl with the pink hair she was a complete and total idiot, she destroyed Dominik's life. He would have been fine if she had stayed out of it. But, if you are not very emotional I suggest watching it because it is a great movie with wonderful acting. But if you are like me, please I beg of you do not watch! Great movie kept me interested the whole time! I love You Dominik! I always will!:(
This is a very slickly produced, very pretentious, heavy-handed and plodding movie that presumes to be about teen suicide... or something - I'm really not sure what it was supposed to be. Maybe you have to be heavily into video games and Japanese cartoons - or a suicidal teenager - to appreciate it. All the technological glitz to me was just a huge, actually an insurmountable distraction. I tried to pick out what was happening to Dominik through all that crap, but it was hard work.Evidently he was a rich, spoiled, whiny, self-centered baby in a man's body, throwing fits in public whenever he felt put upon. That's what most of us are like at that age: some get over it and grow up, some get older but never grow up, and evidently some go off into a weird techno-nightmare and either stay there or kill themselves.The movie has a note at the beginning giving a hotline number for suicidal teens to call - if this movie brings comfort to any suffering kids, thank God for it; but as a movie, as entertainment, it's a plodding, heavy, glitzy, pretentious failure.
