I saw it when I was rather young but I thought it was pretty good, apparently people thought it’s edgy.

That's me, I'm people. Same as you, I remember watching it when I was young and thinking it was a cool mature thriller, but I rewatched it last year for the first time and I was honestly a little shocked at how edgy it seems. Like the first 30 minutes really hammer how much trauma Evan went through, and it just felt really heavy handed.

edit: to be clear I don't hate The Butterfly Effect, I just remember distinctly thinking how edgy it was on review
