Good for wasting time

One star is generous. Sid Is Dead feels like a movie that forgot to write a real script and hoped awkward humor would carry it. The plot is predictable, the jokes rarely land, and the characters feel flat and underdeveloped. Pacing is uneven and drags despite the short runtime. There's no real emotional payoff, no tension, and nothing memorable once it ends. It's not offensively bad, just painfully forgettable. Only suitable if you're extremely bored and need pure background noise.

Identity, Reinvention, and the High School Stage of Survival

What if the only way to truly live was to be mistaken for dead? Sid Is Dead plays with this provocative premise, weaving together themes of reinvention, belonging, and the relentless pressure of teenage life.The story follows Sid Sandagger (Jojo Macari), a shy and overlooked student who, through a bureaucratic error, is suddenly declared dead. What begins as a bizarre administrative mishap quickly becomes an opportunity: freed from the weight of his old self, Sid experiments with confidence, popularity, and the thrill of breaking rules. The film uses this outlandish conceit to explore how fragile identity can be when shaped by peer pressure and social expectations.Stylistically, the movie blends dark comedy with coming-of-age drama. Its strongest moments emerge from Macari's performance, balancing awkward vulnerability with newfound bravado. The script cleverly highlights the absurdities of high school hierarchies, though some comedic set pieces feel overstretched and dilute the narrative's sharper edges. Supporting characters provide bursts of energy but are often sketched in broad strokes rather than fully developed. The pacing maintains momentum, yet at times it leans too heavily on familiar teen-movie conventions, reducing the originality of its intriguing premise.Rating: 6/10 - Sid Is Dead is an entertaining mix of satire and self-discovery that delivers laughs and insight in equal measure. While it doesn't always capitalize on its bold concept, it succeeds in offering a witty, if uneven, reflection on the awkward art of growing up.

An entertaining twist on coming of age!

I have watched many movies over the years, some of the classics and some of the obscure. But lately, Hollywood and their ilk have not been providing many films worth your time.

This is not one of THEM. This is not one of the thousands of coming of age/rom-coms we have all seen. A surprisingly good script, different enough for you stay engaged and avoid the grumble, "Yeah, I've seen this before!" Plus, a very good ending without being a cliche.

A quality cast, quality production values and performances. - with a message which will surprise..

Its surprising this was not on anyone's radar and no-one has left more reviews. Its a good movie!
