Everything just STOPPED, was stagnated. This includes the deer. Mom Tyler got stopped by (drunk?) paralyzer Greer, time stood still. Everything was touched by a universal STOP...death, playing with death, that one ghost repeating that same day over and over...Frances was the saddest of all. Revenge is not amends, but she needed that horrible extension of time. Not everyone gets the gift of stopping time, esp to make amends. Adam had his life stopped/on pause to develop a beautiful person that he wished he could have saved in life. The paralyzer with Mom, the forgiveness and moving on in what I thought was a lovely end for both those ladies. I am guessing Aaron and the deer: Stagnant. Can't you see it? Everything in Limbo with Jaime. Or I could be just completely wrong, of course. I really liked this one, I wish we all could have that time with our suddenly departed Coulda Been Moments. I don't know, I sort of fell in love with Jaime (just as a simple human being, seeking love/friendship). I'm a sucker for the limping underdog. The sex scenes and even the older brother...I don't think they were nearly as integral as the deer. Other than being present in the background, they were wastes of time. PS: I don't think the deer was real, for pete's sake...it was a symbol.

Wow. This movie is so beautifully made. I have not appreciated any movie recently since 'Hereditary'. The background score, cinematography, acting is flawless.

Why is it mandatory (these days) to make all leading males these pitiful outliers who slink around in the shadows and never speak their mind. Even worse is being inundated with these badass chicks who's bravery and strength are unparalleled in the modern world. It's a thin supposition and certainly not representative of the world at any point in history.

Originally I said I didn't have much to add, other than I thought this movie deserved a better rating. After viewing it again, I've changed my mind. Noah Silver did an amazing job, more so when you consider he grew up in France. While I'm sure French schools have outcasts, his portrayal of an American "reject" was gut wrenchingly spot on. This movie broke my heart, but I can't stop watching it. I've seen Noah in Down a Dark Hall, which was good, but not as visceral as Jamie. I'll be looking up more of his movies.

One thing that really annoyed me about this movie is the number of times the question was asked 'Why are you naked?' when the subject of discussion was obviously not naked. It's just a sad testament when we have to pretend people are naked in movies instead of just making them naked. Like the girl wearing a bra being the new definition of topless. Might as well put the dude in a bra too, it's just dumb. Movies in the 70s were even better than that, and today we're supposed to be a more 'progressive' society when obviously we are not. We're a society of Idiocracy and cancelling. And pretending that great Presidents are somehow evil because they look out for their own country FIRST. Overall, this was a weird movie. Annoying and interesting at times. Since I couldn't really tell if I liked it, and I know I didn't hate it, I'll give it 5/10.

-Based on the Novel "One For Sorrow" by Christopher Barzak. A Boy found dead by the river start to hunting.Jamie Marks is a geeky nerd, bully victim found dead by a girl called Gracie. This young couple starts making contact with the deceased. Adam gets in trouble with his family and run away with Jamie and they found a troubled ghost called Frances. Sadly, Jamie's murderers never revealed. The movie is kind of slow, but good. You expect that the ghost is getting psycho and makes you think that if Adam leaves him, Jamie is gonna hurt him somehow. This movie is eerie and cold. The development is good, the acting is exceptional. Unfortunately, you can think for one second that Jamie Marks is a gay ghost. But it only works on the imagination. I recommend this movie for the originality of the elements. The story really works out for me, I had a lot of fun. Is a good movie indeed.

I liked this movie and how it skirts around the issue of Adam's sexuality. While he seems interested in his girlfriend, there is definite interest in Jamie. I like how they use Adam feeding Jamie words in place of consummating a sexual relationship. However, I am glad that they never took it further. It was a beautiful and confusing friendship. That being said . . . I took points off due to the deer hanging from the basketball hoop the entire winter. Please tell me they did not kill a deer just to stick it in a movie? Even if it were killed for food, it is disrespectful to leave it out that long. This movie has a message that we should all be more compassionate toward each other, but you have a once-living thing strung up the entire movie and no one thinks twice about it. I found it sad, disturbing, and distracting . . . I almost stopped watching.

Jamie Marks is Dead is an oddly thrilling movie. It is not a fast film by any stretch of the imagination, but I do not think the movie should be criticized only on its speed. The name of the piece may seem like a massive spoiler, but since you see the corpse of Jamie within the first few minutes of footage, I would say otherwise. I assumed the film to be a horror of some sort, but I was very wrong. Yes, there are supernatural elements, but that is not the central theme. I believe it was created to make you think and re-evaluate how you treat your fellow human, especially during high school; you don't know what a person is going through. Adam, I found was a well-fleshed out character. He was moody, but not unbelievably so. His home life was unpleasant at best, with a wheelchair-bound mother, the woman that made her so constantly around, and a brother who despises him. He's not a popular boy, nor is he unpopular, he's simply there. He does run at school, which is his saving grace at school, the one thing he has talent in. I think he is still in the process of discovering himself, and discovering his sexuality, which I think is explored with Jamie. He's very much a believable character. Jamie, I found I sympathized a lot with, as I was bullied in high school. And I think although this is a pure assumption, I think one of the reasons he was bullied so relentlessly could have been to the fact he was debating his sexuality. He obviously had a crush on Adam and admired him from afar. I think they are quite alike, in my opinion. I think Adam was aware, during their time together, of how Jamie felt about him. And he never took advantage of that; I think Adam was exploring it too. I do think there was a gay tinge to their friendship, and it is done in such a way that it isn't made to feel forced, but rather a natural evolution of their friendship. And the fact that Jamie was more alive when he was dead should not be ignored. I think it is a great thought provoker, and it's one of my favorite movies in this genre. Reminded me of Let the Right One In, in its pacing.

"You know, what happened to Jamie, it was awful, and it was tragic, and it was everything else that everyone says it is. But we have a choice, and all of us have a choice, and I made mine. What did you choose? Not to see him." "Jamie Marks is dead" is a sort of "Sixth Sense" story, combined with a narrative about teenagers and the troubles they experience during their teenage years. That it deals with supernatural apparitions is also a fact. Are you expecting a terrifying horror? Well in that case, this will surely be a major disappointment. Jamie Marks (Noah Silver who looks eerily like Harry Potter) is without a doubt as dead as a doornail. However, his spiritual alter ego has other plans and isn't going to exchange his earthly life with the spiritual easily. Is Jamie seeking for revenge on those who have made his life miserable? Or is his intention to persuade an individual to take that step to eternal life? Sometimes I come across movies I ask myself questions about afterwards. What the hell did I watch? And what was the ultimate meaning? What was it about for God's sake? "Jamie Marks is dead" is such a movie. Jamie isn't exactly Mister Popularity at school. He's always a laughingstock. A mega scapegoat and doormat of the bullies in school. Nobody had any affinity with him and completely ignored him. Adam (Cameron Monaghan) has witnessed such harassment. He never participated in the bullying, but he never really intervened. Adam isn't exactly popular either, but thanks to his sporting achievements, he never suffered the same fate as Jamie. And then Jamie's body is discovered by Gracie (Morgan Saylor), an extravagant behaving teenage girl who collects stones. Spontaneously a friendship arises between Adam and Gracie, thanks to this unfortunate incident. It soon turns out that they both can see the wandering spirit of Jamie. Despite the warning of Jamie, who refuses to have any contact with this supernatural phenomenon, a kind of connection grows between the two boys. "Jamie Marks is dead" is a difficult film. Especially if you try to understand the deeper meaning of it all. Is Jamie trying to create a friendship in this form of existence? Visible only to those who cared about him in a way? Because to be honest, everyone is pretty indifferent when it comes to his death in this community. Or is it an incomplete goal he ultimately wants to achieve? Could this goal be succeeding in winning Adam for himself? It's obvious Jamie feels something for him. He admired Adam during his running events. Ultimately, there is an odd sexual tension between the two. The way Jamie ecstatically reacts as Adam whispers a word into his ear or mouth. Or is it the symbolism of how Adam starts to discovers his own sexuality? Is this the reason why being intimate with Gracie isn't working out that well? Because of the appearances of Jamie? "Jamie Marks is dead" is no self-evident movie. It is a bleak and depressing picture. A morbid movie with pretty crazy characters and situations. At first I thought this was a reflection of Adam's mental state. But this can't be, because Gracie can see dead Jamie as well. Not only the bizarre love triangle seems reasonable unworldly. The friendship that develops between Linda (Liv Tyler), Adam's mother, and Lucy (Judy Greer), a wacky woman who caused a road accident while being drunk after which Linda ended up in a wheelchair, isn't normal either. It's all rather incomprehensible (and not only because of the unintelligibly mumbling of Gracie). Most will look at this and say it's a waste of time and utter crap. Maybe I'm an odd guy, but I thought this was all quite intriguing. More reviews here : http://bit.ly/1KIdQMT

A local boy is tormented by the ghost of a young man who was killed some time ago. Watching this for about 30 minutes for me was interesting but after I reacher 80 minutes I had to stop it because I was bored. The idea is good combining mystery with horror elements although is not a scary film but when I see a ghost immediately I think of the horror genre. This is more like a drama with sad elements in it. Still there are some flaws about the death of Jamie is not elaborate the viewer known only that he was murdered. The young cast did their jobs very good because the acting was tolerable. The dark atmosphere adds some extra chills, but even so it doesn't save the boring story, those long scenes made me finish the film in the second day. If you are a patience person then this is for you. Bottom line, a movie with both good and bad parts witch made me lower my vote cause of the boredom.
