"What the documentary does well, though, is critique a culture that allows young men to disregard other people’s humanity. One of the most fascinating characters in the film is Daisy’s brother Charlie, a star athlete whose whole worldview was shaken after he realized that his in-crowd status and his closeness with the other high-school jocks didn’t prevent anyone in that group from taking advantage of his sister. As for the guys who assaulted Audrie, when asked what they’ve learned from the whole affair, one says that he now understands that girls gossip a lot, and are easily embarrassed. That’s an odd and terrifying lesson for one man to take from a rape victim’s suicide: that something must be fundamentally flawed within women."
