Review: A formulaic design, but one with a surprising commentary. The two figures at the bottom seem to be sharing different kinds of touches. The teen on the left has a seemingly aggressive touch towards the teen on the right and the teen on the right has a touch more tender. That position, even if induced by a familiarity with the trailer, certainly ties into the film’s themes easily.

Trailer Rating: B-

Review: The trailer is fairly conventional, but has a number of interesting and astute observations percolating underneath. The physical hatred turning into passion is a concept that has been played out for a long time, but seldom evoked as effectively in a trailer.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
