The writer Carter Smith, known for his melancholy yet tasteful novel “One for Sorrows” was inspired to create a movie based on his novel, and called it Jamie Marks is Dead. The 1 hour, 41 minute long horror/drama film is tastefully savvy, fit for teens that have a knack for gay-platonic romance films mixed with death and depression. The movie came out just last year in January, and has been rated as “a poetic but flawed meditation on human connection,”(Sundance Review) yet I believe that this enticing film deserves better. Jamie Marks is Dead has its own way of telling a bullied boy’s story and displaying how it feels to be the “black sheep of all white sheep.”
