## Description

Product Description Tim, a shy sixteen-year-old athlete with a natural gift for running, is dealing with the loss of his mother, as well as his sexuality. However, the last four years of high school have been tough on him because of Jeff and his crew. In his last year of school, Tim is sick and tired of feeling like a loser, and wants to shine for once. He decides to stand up to Jeff by dethroning him in the 800m championship, the event Jeff is known for in school. But behind the competition and rivalry, a secret is wreaking havoc. After a personal video is posted to social media, Tims private life is about to explode into the public eye. Soon, Tim finds himself pushed to the edge because of the pressure he endures where human limits reach the point of no return.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 1:54 Gets the Bronze
*by I***N on July 4, 2018*

1:54 is a French-Canadian film about how the protagonist, a gay (or, perhaps, bi) 11th grade high school student-athlete deals with a tragic event and bullying by his classmates. Among other French-language films like “My Life on Ice” or “You’ll Get Over it” which have somewhat similar set-ups (gay high school student-athletes who face ridicule and discrimination), this one is certainly a contender. Although the film has some very good attributes, it also has some flaws that cause it to not meet or exceed its peers. On the positive side, the film is well-constructed in terms of cinematography and editing. The lead actor (Antoine-Olivier Pilon) is top-rate; the supporting cast is pretty good. The film’s strongest aspect is in how it realistically shows the way social media can be used by today’s high school students to rapidly, viciously, and totally destroy the reputation of their classmates. The scene in which Pilon’s character reads and reacts to the comments made in response to a surreptitiously-made and embarrassing video of him is the movie’s most powerful, authentic, and agonizing moment. My negative reactions vary in scale. Pilon is a fine actor, but he does not quite have the lithe physique needed to convincingly play an 800m runner who could compete at the national level; he’s built for, say, something like baseball. Most of the other characters are cardboard. The adult characters are the most poorly developed. Like a lot of films that have teenagers front and center, the characters who are adults are few-and-far-between, marginalized, and impotent. Homosexuality -- a key factor in the characters and action of 1:54 -- is almost unseen and unspoken. It’s as if writer/director Yan England was afraid to present it. It made the film seem, in part, like an after-school-TV-special made in the 1980s in its approach to sexuality. And then there’s the ending. I do find it difficult to criticize the film for its dark and intense conclusion, especially given the sad reality of violence that routinely occurs at high schools. Yet, the conclusion of 1:54 caused me to lose all sympathy for Pilon’s character or his plight. By the end of it, everyone seems to be a loser. I don’t know. Maybe that was the point.
