Elle and Sebastian Stan are truly getting the most out of their Hulu contracts. SO much that i'm starting to enjoy more the type of production that they have. Quality over quantity. I do love some Netflix series, but Hulu is doing it way better rn
I was just thinking that, I honestly thought at certain points they were using clips of the actual person and not Elle because she looks JUST like her, especially in the court scenes!
Elle Fanning is absolutely a remarkably skilled actress, and I don’t even believe she has hit her prime yet. I look forward to all the incredible performances we will see her bring to the big (and smaller in-home streaming screens!). Man, to think - first time I saw her was in Super 8 and in one movie she out-acted her older and “more experienced” sister, Dakota. Can’t stop talent from finding its way out!
They both started working around the same time though. They were both in I am Sam in 2001. Elle did more indie stuff and Dakota more mainstream is all.
I followed this story closely when it was going on because of how bizarre it was. It was absolutely sick this girl preyed on this poor guy's depression and state of mind. It was even sicker that she took his death and used it as a way to get attention and sympathy for herself. She was on a completely different level of having a narcissistic personality disorder.
@@Kwildcat13 the dead guy preyed on her?? She is a manipulative psychopath. She pushed him till the breaking point and then used his death for attention. What a way to chase clout.

God I want to see this so much, but my bf took his life as well and I was the one to come home and find his hanging body. The anger I hold for this woman knows no end. I could never imagine saying what she said. This trailer alone sent chills and had me sobbing. The actor for the boyfriend portrayed every last moment I remember before he died. One day I hope I'll be able to watch this. Elle Fanning is a true star.
The Fanning sisters are phenomenal actresses! I remember seeing Dakota Fanning’a performance in “Man On Fire” alongside Denzel Washington and I don’t think I’ll ever forget what an incredible job she did, especially as a kid. Then I saw Elle Fanning in Super 8 and was blown away. I can’t wait to see how far she goes 😻
This happened in the next town over from mine, and it was water-cooler talk for months. The way she manipulated that kid's fragile psyche was nothing short of monstrous. At least she won't get a red cent from this movie . . . or from ANYTHING filmed or written about the case. That was a stipulation wisely made by the presiding judge.
To those in the comments throwing around the tired “it’s not Michelle’s responsibility that Conrad killed himself”. No it isn’t. But it was her responsibility once she realized where he was and that he was going to carry out the plan they had discussed ad nauseam to TRY to get him help. She didn’t talk him down. She didn’t alert authorities or his parents. She talked on the phone with him until he lost consciousness from the carbon monoxide and went around playing dumb/shocked girlfriend to his friends and family. Her own issues and struggles are not a shield, no matter how much she wants them to be.
I do agree almost entirely but aren’t her own mental illness issues a shield though? Maybe not a shield per say but he was clinically depressed and mentally ill and so was she right? How much can we truly say that what she was telling him to do was mental illness or not? Idk, it’s all just really sad

Similar thing happened to my childhood friend. Her bf was depressed and suicidal. She helped him with the best she could. His parents knew about it.

@@anonymoustoo4945 The Act is another series on Hulu about the girl whose mother had Munchausen by proxy and the girl and her bf unalived the mother. The story was insane and the series was really well done.
Chloë Sevigny is one of those actors who’s face everyone recognizes but no one knows her. She’s been acting since she was a kid. Been underrated her whole life!
This is not the only situation like this. There was a man who encouraged a woman to kill herself in a chatroom. This is not an isolated incident. There are many people who have targeted vulnerable and fragile people in their 20s and 30s who struggle with depression, and then helped them to think suicide was a viable, sane or kind option. It is not. Ever. These are extremely disturbed, morally bankrupt and vacuous people who enjoy the feeling of power that it gives them to push someone over the edge to suicide. They are horrible people that no one should ever trust or let into their life. Watch your children and talk to them. Warn them about people like this, there are more of them than many people realize. They hide out in chat rooms with names like Tootsie Roll, or Banjo or whatever. They hide out and in secrecy they do this, or they just do it in the open, like that horrible girl did. I can't imagine being so dead inside that you would encourage someone else to take their own life. But this is the world we live in. Protect your children, know what they're doing and know who they are in contact with. Make no excuses, find out and take action.
She literally thinks that death is better at this point. Crazy. If it's me I would just encourage the boy to go to university and move out of his abusive family.
suicide is always an option (we don't have to agree on it) but what this piece of ish chick did was prey on a vulnerable dude for her to get attention. she didn't just not try to talk him out of it, she actively pursued trying to get him to do it even when he showed hesitation. and for those reasons she should fry
In my country years ago a guy posted to a forum that he was depressed and wanted to commit suicide and the replies were full of people calling him an attention seeker as well as pushing him to do it then, so eventually he did it on a livestream... Absolutely horrible. Some people are monsters.
Ohhhhh shit, I forgot about the actual story, but love how this film/trailer portrayed it so well, it made me recall the events and realize this is what it's about haha.
it is more complicated than that. his father was really abusive with him, his whole family was disfuncional. and she supported him virtually for a long time until she broke. she was recovering from a tsa and he used suicide as manipulation with her many times before finally doing it.
Sometimes the evidence it’s just right in front of you, she teased and encouraged him to commit suicide until he did. You can’t argue with those texts.
@@utopistmsoc there's damn evidence she was his emotional support for years as there's a damn video of his father laughing it off and saying he did what he had to do when he was called out for being abusive 💀 there are more texts than just the last ones. girly was done with him as he was already done with himself. i don't justify but she's not the only one to blame in the situation
Wow, this trailer reminded me of someone I'm no longer with, I've been sad for so long that I've lost that person but now it feels like if I didn't I'd be ash too
I don't think this girl ever cared about this guy or considered him her boyfriend, she just wanted to exert her power over a guy. If her mom didn't even know about him, she didn't like him that much. I really doubt they ever slept together
@Alex Burch ok there, Mr. Freethinker...go back to your day-to-day job, at which you do what your bosses tell you, and pay the taxes the government tells you to pay....you're so edgy...
this movie makes me so emotional to see a tragedy that happens just near me. this young man died right next to my house in my uncles truck that he gave to him it’s crazy how everything ties together. i know so many people hurt by his death. you are missed Conrad.
Whoa. We actually know her. I was working with her aunt while this was going down. That’s crazy. It’s crazy how much the actress looks like Michelle too. I felt bad for both families.
These movies based off of crazy true crimes are hitting different. There needs to be more, people need to know these things really happen and be aware.
I really don't understand this obsession with making movies so soon after real events happen. This happened in 2015. It's still fresh for everyone involved. How is dramatizing this in a movie improving life for anyone involved? Everyone now has to relive everything that happened, and see it portrayed in a way that will be inaccurate for the sake of creating drama and boosting views to make money for the producers. And the rest of the world will now think this dramatization is how things actually played out. They won't have their facts straight, but they'll think they will and it will most likely only make life harder for everyone close to these events
As someone who has ongoing struggles with depression and my self-worth, she has to be one of the worst kinds of people. To do what she did… I mean, truly *soulless* and also being a parent, and to lose my child because another child was encouraging them to commit suicide… well, I can’t imagine the horrible things I’d do to that person. She should’ve served way more time in prison.
As messed up as she is it’s not her fault he killed himself when it comes down to it he made that choice not her she didn’t force him or murder him. Ik it’s fucked up and she’s a terrible person but that’s the truth.
@@Jakob_23 Naw, she texed him consistently over a period of time, to kill himself... Maybe he was unstable but she's the catalyst that caused his death in the end. Hence her prison time...
Anyone else notice that the actor who plays Conrad also played Connor in Dear Evan Hansen? It seems he's the guy to go to for playing a suicidal high school student whose name starts with "Con." 😬
Malaysia has public exams conducted for Covid-19 effected students in Apr 2022 & May 2022. The delay in public exams was decided to be carry forward to this year, 2022! 😘
"We should be like Romeo and Juliet." Her: "I'd love to be your Juliet." Me to dude: *READ THE PLAY. READ THE F'KING PLAY!!!!!!* Juliet doesn't die to start with. She drinks a sleeping potion , to *fake* her death. She *ONLY* kills herself after she finds that Romeo is *actually* dead.
Not sure what your point is. Juliet killed herself to be with Romeo after she realized what had happened, so the implication he is making is that they should both die for love and she's confirming that she's down with that. It's not like Juliet was trying to trick Romeo into killing himself, so him reading the play wouldn't change his idea in the least.
@@Ceares My point was that these kids say that kind of thing like Romeo and Juliet is "soooooo romantic" when in reality it's not. Lots of Shakespeare and other historical literature is *DARK*
On January 23, 2020, Carter was released early from prison more than three months before her sentence ended due to good conduct. Massachusetts state law allows inmates to reduce their sentences by 10 days per month for exemplary behavior. Carter served 11 months and 12 days of her 15-month sentence.
anyone else feel like it's a little soon to be making this into a movie? i understand it's been several years since he died but i can only imagine it's still fresh for the family
What ever happened to "duty to warn" and warning his parents and assisting him with getting help? Although this is truly an interesting case, telling someone to move forward with suicide is just wrong. No other way to put it. It almost would have been better to just stop responding and then proceed to tell his parents and get him serious help.
This case has always boggled my mind and it looks like they picked the right lead with Ella Fanning. I'm definitely going to see it, I got a VPN pretty much strictly for Hulu.
I grew up in Plainville, MA she was in my sisters grade never knew the girl this movie is about. Still so weird something like this happened around my hometown.
this case was so wild. the most insane part to me is that the prosecuting attorneys proved over and over again that Michelle was incredibly unstable and a known liar/fibber. and yet, the entire case hinged on her single text to her friend 2 months after his death saying that she blamed herself and was on the phone telling him to "get back in the car and kill himself" contrary to what most believe about the case - she NEVER sent this to conrad over text. She never mentioned saying that to him until attention started to wane. Conrad had attempted suicide 4 times previously, his grandfather was abusive, his father was arrested for beating the shit out of him, his father's gf screamed that he was a piece of shit while his dad beat him, his mom knew he was suicidal and made him "promise not to kill himself for her" this was a really sick young man with so many underlying issues. Michelle had been in treatment for an eating disorder and self harm since she was 8...clearly also a very sick person. they just were toxic together and I think conrad's parents wanted someone else to blame other than themselves
Exactly thank you there’s a lot of factors here. Don’t get me wrong she’s an extremely mentally ill person and she needs help but no one knows what it’s like to have a person constantly talking to you about suicide and you talking them down all the time it’s fucking emotionally exhausting. I used to talk a friend down for months and then one day I finally just got fed up and said if you do it can I have your truck🤷🏽♀️ He never brought it up ever again and he still alive today sometimes these people just want to make others as sad and miserable as they are
I hope they add this to the show. everyone is making her the big psychotic villain when there was more depth in this story, if she was the villain, she wasn't the only villain
Most of the time, there are two sides to the story and the truth is somewhere in between. Sadly, Conrad isn’t here to tell his side. But its clear from both histories that they were each messed up long before they met one another. That doesn’t excuse Michelle’s role by any means, but it also doesn’t put all the blame on her either.
@@malena6539 She wouldn't be in jail if justice was genuinely blind and impartial. She got tired of him, and started saying some unhelpful stuff. They were both very unstable. It amazes me how this case has been turned. People sure love to hate her.
The bottom line was this was a very toxic codependent relationship. He tried to kill himself multiple times before she was involved. His parents refused to get him help and she even asked why they wouldn't get him help. He had basically given up already because his family had. She tried to help him, but eventually his depression and talk of killing himself got to her and so she went the other direction. She shouldn't have done it and frankly either one of them could have stopped talking to the other, but that's where the codependency comes in. Is what she did wrong? Absolutely. Do I think she should be in jail for it? Meh. I think we should be asking why his parents didn't give him the help he clearly needed.
she told him to kill himself in multiple text messages and continued to do so till he killed himself. She is completely responsible for his death and her lack of seeking help for him when he was openly speaking about his depression and past suicidal attempts. Don't move blame from his parents, keep the blame on the woman that kept telling him to kill himself on a regular.....nerve of you.
@@zomaster1 Again, I'm not defending her. I'm looking at her punishment from a precedent setting perspective. If you're so gung ho about her being in jail I want you to explain why she was the one that was used as an example. She wasn't the first to do this. There have been many instances of teenagers bullying others into suicide. I've never heard of them going to jail. I simply am questioning what makes her situation that different? And yes, I'm going to shed light on the fact that his parents watched their son attempt suicide multiple times and did nothing to get him the help he needed. They aren't 100% innocent in this.
@@chelzlor3200 the parents didn't send him text messages on the regular egging him into suicide, to say they did nothing while they did what they could with hospital, medication and therapy that did not help his depression in the end due to the girl's interference. His girlfriend is the one that should receive the full blame on his death since she's the one that pushed him to do it. shifting blame from the woman that pushed him to suicide to the parents that didn't kill their own kid is a shit move on anyone's part. If they sent the text messages to him, were abusive towards him then you'd have a leg to stand on but you don't. Kid's dead bc of his girlfriend, she pushed him to suicide.
i remember this case its really sad , i know being a teenager or a young adult isnt easy , ure confused all the time , i watched the trial on youtube ... im so sorry for both families ...
it is honestly f*cked morally, ethically, and literally, that this is really going to be a movie...if you don't feel that way, possibly take a little walk with some fresh air, please...please....
@@Nobody-bq7pl and so that means that we shouldn't watch the movie? hitler killed 6 million people, but we still watch WW2 movies...right? don't be so dense.
i think it would be interesting, to show them talking to each other in real life, with the same conversations used in the text. like can you actually have these convos in real life
When I found out Elle was going to star as michelle my first thought was, why not Cara delevigne, like they are really similar, but now i think it was the best decision because the make up is so good she looks just like her beside the gestures, Elle is a very good actress
I'm so tired. I saw publicity stills earlier and looked up the original story and thought "Wow, Elle Fanning looks like the girl from the story." And then I finally sat down to watch the trailer and thought, "She kind of looks like Elle Fanning" 'cause I'm so tired, I forgot that it WAS Elle Fanning (and yes, I knew it was the trailer from the show... just was looking at the character and thinking of the real life case).
@@ben_jammin9470 no law states no one can make money off their crimes so this movie she can’t profit off of just like Jordan Belford can’t profit off the Wolf of Wall Street
@@heisman1481 its only in some states. The original law was the son of sam law. It does exactly what you said but was revised in 2001 because people said it went against freedom of speech. Now they can profit from their crimes and when they make over 10k from whatever they're selling or royalties the victims family is contacted and they allow a window of time to sue for part of the royalties. Im talking about murder cased of course. Don't know too much about other crimes, because their can be victimless crimes in some situations. People can make stories without the permission of the killer or whoever committed the crime but if they slip up a little or say something that isnt true the criminal can sue for defamation.
I really hope they don't paint this as a romance gone wrong or as if she's a victim that's just misunderstood because that would be so fucked up given what she did to that boy and his family!

We don't want to die, we want what's causing the pain to.
If this is half as good as The Act it's going to be epic. Love Ellle!
wtf did you just say?
@@anonymoustoo4945 The Act is another series on Hulu about the girl whose mother had Munchausen by proxy and the girl and her bf unalived the mother. The story was insane and the series was really well done.
Chloë Sevigny is one of those actors who’s face everyone recognizes but no one knows her. She’s been acting since she was a kid. Been underrated her whole life!
Yeah, she isn't in this film.
@@ImaginerImagines she is, she’s Conrad’s mother
@@ImaginerImagines she’s literally right there in the trailer homeboy lol

i worship the ground that elle fanning walks on
she is such a good actor omggggg
I've seen her in a few films and SHE is phenomenal !!!!!!! Looking forward to watch this one for sure !!!
This girl Will win a Oscar for best actress One day !
I agree ..she is good just like her sister
Talk about a hard roll. Elle Fanning’s acting is fantastic!
This is not the only situation like this. There was a man who encouraged a woman to kill herself in a chatroom. This is not an isolated incident. There are many people who have targeted vulnerable and fragile people in their 20s and 30s who struggle with depression, and then helped them to think suicide was a viable, sane or kind option. It is not. Ever. These are extremely disturbed, morally bankrupt and vacuous people who enjoy the feeling of power that it gives them to push someone over the edge to suicide. They are horrible people that no one should ever trust or let into their life. Watch your children and talk to them. Warn them about people like this, there are more of them than many people realize. They hide out in chat rooms with names like Tootsie Roll, or Banjo or whatever. They hide out and in secrecy they do this, or they just do it in the open, like that horrible girl did. I can't imagine being so dead inside that you would encourage someone else to take their own life. But this is the world we live in. Protect your children, know what they're doing and know who they are in contact with. Make no excuses, find out and take action.
That’s why I’m not on social media. And no one else should be either. It’s a plague on society.
She literally thinks that death is better at this point. Crazy. If it's me I would just encourage the boy to go to university and move out of his abusive family.
suicide is always an option (we don't have to agree on it) but what this piece of ish chick did was prey on a vulnerable dude for her to get attention. she didn't just not try to talk him out of it, she actively pursued trying to get him to do it even when he showed hesitation. and for those reasons she should fry
In my country years ago a guy posted to a forum that he was depressed and wanted to commit suicide and the replies were full of people calling him an attention seeker as well as pushing him to do it then, so eventually he did it on a livestream... Absolutely horrible. Some people are monsters.
Didn't "Dexter" take out a character like this - a psychiatrist who was encouraging his patients to kill themselves?
What a tough role for Elle Fanning, looks like she nails it. Very sad story, RIP Conrad.
Ohhhhh shit, I forgot about the actual story, but love how this film/trailer portrayed it so well, it made me recall the events and realize this is what it's about haha.
People really want this to be a straight forward villain/victim dynamic but I think it's so much more complicated than that
That woman is EVIL.
it is more complicated than that. his father was really abusive with him, his whole family was disfuncional. and she supported him virtually for a long time until she broke. she was recovering from a tsa and he used suicide as manipulation with her many times before finally doing it.
@@malena6539 bull shit. The evidence is clear. She is a psychopath.
Sometimes the evidence it’s just right in front of you, she teased and encouraged him to commit suicide until he did. You can’t argue with those texts.
@@utopistmsoc there's damn evidence she was his emotional support for years as there's a damn video of his father laughing it off and saying he did what he had to do when he was called out for being abusive 💀 there are more texts than just the last ones. girly was done with him as he was already done with himself. i don't justify but she's not the only one to blame in the situation
yooo Hulu is bringhing it home recently with all these quality shows and film. Damn!! Good job!
Wow, I watched the documentary and how complex the real story was, and the trailer is riveting, and I haven't watched a trailer like that in a while.
What's the name of the documentary
Wow, this trailer reminded me of someone I'm no longer with, I've been sad for so long that I've lost that person but now it feels like if I didn't I'd be ash too
Elle is an AMAZING actress
I don't think this girl ever cared about this guy or considered him her boyfriend, she just wanted to exert her power over a guy. If her mom didn't even know about him, she didn't like him that much. I really doubt they ever slept together
Her texts said things like you promised me last bight youd do it tour such a loser
@Alex Burch ok there, Mr. Freethinker...go back to your day-to-day job, at which you do what your bosses tell you, and pay the taxes the government tells you to pay....you're so edgy...
Exactly correct
Teenagers commenting on teenage things lol
I agree. She was pushing him into ending his life and told the whole world they were together when she could receive sympathy.
this movie makes me so emotional to see a tragedy that happens just near me. this young man died right next to my house in my uncles truck that he gave to him it’s crazy how everything ties together. i know so many people hurt by his death. you are missed Conrad.
Blessings hopefully his family consoled & your as well always small crazy percentage in population.
Omg I can’t wait to see this. Had no idea this was being turned into a show
Whoa. We actually know her. I was working with her aunt while this was going down. That’s crazy. It’s crazy how much the actress looks like Michelle too. I felt bad for both families.
These movies based off of crazy true crimes are hitting different. There needs to be more, people need to know these things really happen and be aware.
I really don't understand this obsession with making movies so soon after real events happen. This happened in 2015. It's still fresh for everyone involved. How is dramatizing this in a movie improving life for anyone involved? Everyone now has to relive everything that happened, and see it portrayed in a way that will be inaccurate for the sake of creating drama and boosting views to make money for the producers. And the rest of the world will now think this dramatization is how things actually played out. They won't have their facts straight, but they'll think they will and it will most likely only make life harder for everyone close to these events
Well said
Diana England ripped from the headline stories make money, it’s all about money
Someone was paid for the rights! It's sick
Thank you!
That was SEVEN YEARS ago? How is that "so soon"? :/
i like all these shows about real life events going around
I have chills both good and bad. Good because Elle is amazing and I can't wait to see her performance. Bad because this story is so horrifying.
At 1:40 had me thinking “what’s cara delevingne doing in this movie?” 🤣
As someone who has ongoing struggles with depression and my self-worth, she has to be one of the worst kinds of people. To do what she did… I mean, truly *soulless* and also being a parent, and to lose my child because another child was encouraging them to commit suicide… well, I can’t imagine the horrible things I’d do to that person. She should’ve served way more time in prison.
She deserved 25 years at least...
As messed up as she is it’s not her fault he killed himself when it comes down to it he made that choice not her she didn’t force him or murder him. Ik it’s fucked up and she’s a terrible person but that’s the truth.
he had tried to kill himself before......thats all he told her all the time....that he wanted to kill himself.....
@@Jakob_23 Naw, she texed him consistently over a period of time, to kill himself... Maybe he was unstable but she's the catalyst that caused his death in the end. Hence her prison time...
@@tubemoog okay??
Love Elle Fanning. Gonna watch it for her
I can’t believe I accidentally cancelled my Hulu, they’re giving us this while Netflix is giving us tall girl
absolutely love that more hulu originals are being based off of true events
also the act, amazing show !
Elle is on fire. Love her.
Yes I remember this story. Ella has turned into such a lovely young woman
Such amazing actress and her sister too 👍👍👍👍
Anyone else notice that the actor who plays Conrad also played Connor in Dear Evan Hansen? It seems he's the guy to go to for playing a suicidal high school student whose name starts with "Con." 😬
See, I'd remembered his Evan on Broadway but I a) forgot he'd done Connor too and b) haven't seen the movie
The most beautiful girl I have ever seen Elle fanning.
I already found this movie in that random DVD bin in the middle of the aisle at Walmart next to the rotisserie chickens...
this case has always fascinated me. I guess I'll have to get hulu just to watch it.
Looks just like her in these court room scenes.. Very impressive!
this is how they should treat bullies, especially if it ends in a death. prosecute them.
Malaysia has public exams conducted for Covid-19 effected students in Apr 2022 & May 2022. The delay in public exams was decided to be carry forward to this year, 2022! 😘
Ooh I remember reading about it in the news, so interesting to do a movie about it.
Hulu is really on a roll right now.
"We should be like Romeo and Juliet."
Her: "I'd love to be your Juliet."
Me to dude: *READ THE PLAY. READ THE F'KING PLAY!!!!!!*
Juliet doesn't die to start with. She drinks a sleeping potion , to *fake* her death. She *ONLY* kills herself after she finds that Romeo is *actually* dead.
Not sure what your point is. Juliet killed herself to be with Romeo after she realized what had happened, so the implication he is making is that they should both die for love and she's confirming that she's down with that. It's not like Juliet was trying to trick Romeo into killing himself, so him reading the play wouldn't change his idea in the least.
@@Ceares My point was that these kids say that kind of thing like Romeo and Juliet is "soooooo romantic" when in reality it's not. Lots of Shakespeare and other historical literature is *DARK*
They should let Romeo get to elope with Juliet . After 5 kids, Romeo will look another ‘Juliet’ and she come home crying
I think they did get the dark side of it and they were into it bc both were depressed self destructive teenagers lol
This looks SO good
On January 23, 2020, Carter was released early from prison more than three months before her sentence ended due to good conduct. Massachusetts state law allows inmates to reduce their sentences by 10 days per month for exemplary behavior. Carter served 11 months and 12 days of her 15-month sentence.
Nice of you to spoil the entire thing.

Man, I'm binge watching these types, started off with "The thing about Pam" "The Act" and now this.
anyone else feel like it's a little soon to be making this into a movie? i understand it's been several years since he died but i can only imagine it's still fresh for the family
What ever happened to "duty to warn" and warning his parents and assisting him with getting help? Although this is truly an interesting case, telling someone to move forward with suicide is just wrong. No other way to put it. It almost would have been better to just stop responding and then proceed to tell his parents and get him serious help.
This case has always boggled my mind and it looks like they picked the right lead with Ella Fanning. I'm definitely going to see it, I got a VPN pretty much strictly for Hulu.
It's time for chloe to win an Oscar. Elle went all out and bared her soul in this role.
I grew up in Plainville, MA she was in my sisters grade never knew the girl this movie is about. Still so weird something like this happened around my hometown.
Elle Fanning is such a grown woman
what a power trip for the girl that guided another human to end their life...wow. Hope there are no copycats out there.
I kinda thought they were gonna cast Cara Delevigne, but I do have hope in Elle Fanning to portray such a monstrous young woman.
I love this hair color on her
this case was so wild. the most insane part to me is that the prosecuting attorneys proved over and over again that Michelle was incredibly unstable and a known liar/fibber. and yet, the entire case hinged on her single text to her friend 2 months after his death saying that she blamed herself and was on the phone telling him to "get back in the car and kill himself"
contrary to what most believe about the case - she NEVER sent this to conrad over text. She never mentioned saying that to him until attention started to wane.
Conrad had attempted suicide 4 times previously, his grandfather was abusive, his father was arrested for beating the shit out of him, his father's gf screamed that he was a piece of shit while his dad beat him, his mom knew he was suicidal and made him "promise not to kill himself for her" this was a really sick young man with so many underlying issues.
Michelle had been in treatment for an eating disorder and self harm since she was 8...clearly also a very sick person. they just were toxic together and I think conrad's parents wanted someone else to blame other than themselves
Wait, are you actually standing up for Michelle and excusing her behaviour?!
Exactly thank you there’s a lot of factors here. Don’t get me wrong she’s an extremely mentally ill person and she needs help but no one knows what it’s like to have a person constantly talking to you about suicide and you talking them down all the time it’s fucking emotionally exhausting. I used to talk a friend down for months and then one day I finally just got fed up and said if you do it can I have your truck🤷🏽♀️ He never brought it up ever again and he still alive today sometimes these people just want to make others as sad and miserable as they are
I hope they add this to the show. everyone is making her the big psychotic villain when there was more depth in this story, if she was the villain, she wasn't the only villain
Most of the time, there are two sides to the story and the truth is somewhere in between. Sadly, Conrad isn’t here to tell his side. But its clear from both histories that they were each messed up long before they met one another. That doesn’t excuse Michelle’s role by any means, but it also doesn’t put all the blame on her either.
@@malena6539 She wouldn't be in jail if justice was genuinely blind and impartial. She got tired of him, and started saying some unhelpful stuff. They were both very unstable. It amazes me how this case has been turned. People sure love to hate her.
Omigawwd they turn this to a movie 🥺😲
So if Elle doesn't win for the Great hopefully she will win a major award for this.
The bottom line was this was a very toxic codependent relationship. He tried to kill himself multiple times before she was involved. His parents refused to get him help and she even asked why they wouldn't get him help. He had basically given up already because his family had. She tried to help him, but eventually his depression and talk of killing himself got to her and so she went the other direction. She shouldn't have done it and frankly either one of them could have stopped talking to the other, but that's where the codependency comes in. Is what she did wrong? Absolutely. Do I think she should be in jail for it? Meh. I think we should be asking why his parents didn't give him the help he clearly needed.
nah she should be in jail, that's not debatable
she told him to kill himself in multiple text messages and continued to do so till he killed himself. She is completely responsible for his death and her lack of seeking help for him when he was openly speaking about his depression and past suicidal attempts. Don't move blame from his parents, keep the blame on the woman that kept telling him to kill himself on a regular.....nerve of you.
@@zomaster1 Again, I'm not defending her. I'm looking at her punishment from a precedent setting perspective. If you're so gung ho about her being in jail I want you to explain why she was the one that was used as an example. She wasn't the first to do this. There have been many instances of teenagers bullying others into suicide. I've never heard of them going to jail. I simply am questioning what makes her situation that different? And yes, I'm going to shed light on the fact that his parents watched their son attempt suicide multiple times and did nothing to get him the help he needed. They aren't 100% innocent in this.
@@chaaaargh I would agree if our prison system was at all good at rehabilitation.
@@chelzlor3200 the parents didn't send him text messages on the regular egging him into suicide, to say they did nothing while they did what they could with hospital, medication and therapy that did not help his depression in the end due to the girl's interference. His girlfriend is the one that should receive the full blame on his death since she's the one that pushed him to do it. shifting blame from the woman that pushed him to suicide to the parents that didn't kill their own kid is a shit move on anyone's part. If they sent the text messages to him, were abusive towards him then you'd have a leg to stand on but you don't. Kid's dead bc of his girlfriend, she pushed him to suicide.
The casting for Michelle is perfect. Elle looks exactly like her.
Colton ryan is getting typecast into these roles 🤭
My first thought
i remember this case its really sad , i know being a teenager or a young adult isnt easy , ure confused all the time , i watched the trial on youtube ... im so sorry for both families ...
it is honestly f*cked morally, ethically, and literally, that this is really going to be a movie...if you don't feel that way, possibly take a little walk with some fresh air, please...please....
And isn't the real life case this is based on less than a year old? Just tasteless to make a series about so soon, if ever.
"We need to talk about Kevin" is out there and I'm fine with this. This seems more like an awareness or something.
Agree 100%

Oh my God I remember when this happened. Crazy wow
I'm so tired. I saw publicity stills earlier and looked up the original story and thought "Wow, Elle Fanning looks like the girl from the story." And then I finally sat down to watch the trailer and thought, "She kind of looks like Elle Fanning" 'cause I'm so tired, I forgot that it WAS Elle Fanning (and yes, I knew it was the trailer from the show... just was looking at the character and thinking of the real life case).
Looks like you guys gave her exactly what she wanted.
Thought the same thing. And I wonder if they had to pay her to use her story. Super gross if so.
@@ben_jammin9470 no law states no one can make money off their crimes so this movie she can’t profit off of just like Jordan Belford can’t profit off the Wolf of Wall Street
@@heisman1481 its only in some states. The original law was the son of sam law. It does exactly what you said but was revised in 2001 because people said it went against freedom of speech. Now they can profit from their crimes and when they make over 10k from whatever they're selling or royalties the victims family is contacted and they allow a window of time to sue for part of the royalties. Im talking about murder cased of course. Don't know too much about other crimes, because their can be victimless crimes in some situations. People can make stories without the permission of the killer or whoever committed the crime but if they slip up a little or say something that isnt true the criminal can sue for defamation.
