Sophie Thatcher (Teen Natalie) and Sophie Nélisse (Teen Shauna) deliver career-best work here. When Natalie draws the doomed card, the air sucks out of the room. But the twist—Javi claiming the card was his, or rather, the group letting him fall through the ice to save Natalie—is Shakespearean tragedy.
