1:54

Directed by Yan England

Tim, a reserved 16-year-old athlete with remarkable brilliance and talent, finds himself teetering on the edge as the pressure mounts, pushing him to the brink where human limits blur into the point of no return.
1:54 is a tense Canadian school drama about bullying, athletic pressure and a gay teenager pushed toward desperation. Antoine Olivier Pilon gives an intense central performance, and while the film can be melodramatic, its anger at the cruelty of teenage harassment feels painfully sincere.
