In the cruel world of junior high, Edwin suffers in a state of anxiety and alienation alongside his only friend, Flake. Misunderstood by their families and demoralized at school daily, their fury simmers quietly until an idea for vengeance offers them a terrifying release. Based on the acclaimed novel "Project X" by Jim Shepard, this unflinching look at adolescence explores how the powerful bonds of childhood friendship and search for belonging can become a matter of life or death.

- The story is not new. Alas, the story is pretty old in real life too. Even so, I liked a lot the atmosphere of the movie, the doubts, the constructions of it, the photography, and mostly the anxiety of the protagonist and the movie in general. Basically, there is a lot to like.Reply
- Beautiful and haunting, And Then I Go is a vital work of art, and a must-see movie for our time.Reply
- What Grashaw does remarkably well, in the movie's harrowing final minutes, is put us entirely inside Edwin's head; not as a sociopath or a killer, just a boy in a world of pain.Reply
- Grashaw keeps us guessing... By the time the end arrives, we're as surprised as Edwin and Flake want their classmates to be.Reply
- A disturbing drama of teen disaffection, Vincent Grashaw's feature provides an essential and insightful perspective that will resonate with audiences attuned to the challenges of adolescence.Reply
