Talent is something different than scope or budget. However, good editing and story structure can be done on any film with any budget. I know this is an indie film, and I certainly did not expect big-budget stuff.

Though she is the biggest one on the poster, her role in the movie is limited. Sure, she is given some garbage dialogue at times, but she makes the best of the material and shows some nice range.
I'll give this movie one thing: Daisy's performance here, at its best, is pretty darn good.
Most people, no doubt, will seek this movie out because it is Daisy Ridley's first feature film (filmed before Star Wars: The Force Awakens). The storytelling and editing choices made here are bizarre and completely ruin the admittedly interesting premise. If I hadn't read the plot synopsis before I watched it I would've had no clue what was going on.
Check the movie out if you want to see how Ridley got her start in a bad-and soon to be cult-student film. Unfortunately it happens with the same non-existent affection as the bland dialog and snarkiness. There are plenty of moments with decent horror and blood splatter. And things happen in a slow, aimless pace that is slightly boring. There is no real cohesion to the story arc. Beyond that very basic understanding of the plot, not much is comprehensive with this film. A troubled kid obsessed with comics unwittingly unleashes evil in his community. All things done to death, but "Scrawl" mashes these tropes in a truly millennial fashion. Outcast kids trying to find their place in a social clique, a supernatural book that can bring imagination to life and a coming-of-age battle against evil. There is some bare bones of creativity and intrigue in Hearns concept. For most of the first half it is hard to decipher what the film is about, too many cut-aways and overlapping plot points really muddy things. Keep the official synopsis handy for reference because the complexity is elusive on screen.
