5/10
Acceptable time waster
29 September 2016
College kids looking for cash join drug trials. The main side effect is precognition. And the future doesn't look bright.

A little slow at times, a little bit, "Who cares?", but Tell Me How I Die is also sometimes charming, and the dialogue is occasionally interesting. This isn't a movie made for Oscars, it's a movie based around giving young people something easy and moderately enjoyable to watch. It meets those modest ambitions. (And, to contradict an earlier reviewer, the ending makes plenty of sense.) It's not good enough to say, "Go see it!" But it's not bad enough to say, "Don't." And there are enough sort-of-new ideas in this that I'm looking forward to the filmmakers' next projects. If they can come up with a better story line, with a bit more to fill up 90 minutes, they should be able to make something genuinely good.
