Raises good awareness

Reviving Ophelia is a great movie for older teenage girls. A little over-dramatic (okay, way over-dramatic) and terrible acting, but raises good awareness about abusive relationships. Sometimes we don't know someone's crazy until it's too late. I wish I had known the things this movie teaches before I had started dating. It's also important for parents to know how to handle the situation. Because it's true. If you push back on your child who is in an abusive relationship, they will only hide things from you and stay with the abuser.For younger teenagers, there are small parts you might want to skip. No significant nudity is shown, but a mom walks in on her daughter giving a random guy from her English class oral sex. She doesn't get away with it and learns, so some parents might not mind.

Decent movie showing abusive relationship evolution

It's hard to fully develop this type of movie in around 1hr 30mins run time but this movie does a decent enough job. You can see the evolution of an abusive relationship and see how it can be easy to misjudge what's in front of you. The one thing I would have wished took a bit longer was her to get out of the relationship. While some can get out quickly for most it takes time. I have no doubt that actually reading aloud signs of an abusive relationship can trigger a light bulb but it seems unrealistic that this was just so easy for the girl to say "yup we're done (when she meant it for real) and here's the reason why you're an abuser". I think the movie does shed some light on the issue though. The girl had her family to watch over her in the sense that they were aware of when her phone was going off, could tell she was distant with her friends, but was still accountable for her well-being. An adult on the other hand would not necessarily have this making the abusive relationship that much more dangerous.
