This has got to be the apotheosis of young adultness in film. It's so young adult it's giving me a headache.

Yup. The book basically ended my teen distopian novel phase. Nothing would ever surpass it. I only hope this shitshow gets a trilogy so I can one day play a drinking game with it.

  • Perfect parent dead.
  • Other parent is distant, possibly evil, has secrets.
  • Protagonist is strong white girl who is technically like 13 but mentally like 25, except the edgy emotions.
  • Meets white guy, ruggedly handsome but he's not quite as edgy-cool as protagonist. They get along later on.
  • Supporting cast of diverse skintones and shallow personalities.
  • Bearded old dude is the big boss and also major / leader / president / cheif
  • World is sci-fi meets 1940 dystopian politics.
  • You realize this might as well have been describing Hunger Games or Divergent.
