ComedyFan2010 Well the reason people bully isn't always the same. It isn't always because they have a hard life. But sometimes it is and so this movie took this bullying reason. It is actually a great movie to show teenagers and have a conversation about.I really like thew style of the movie. It being filmed as if it is a documentary makes this movie feel much more realistic which is great. Acting is pretty good as well. I think the only time it felt fake was when the victim cried about being bullied. But this most likely wasn't because of her acting but because the lines were a bit overdramatic which was unfortunate. Because otherwise the movie was awesome. I like the participation of everyone, friends, people who kind of knew them, family members etc.
dynver In this film, the storyline becomes clear throughout the movie and why the main character attempted to do something dramatic and fatal. In this day and age, bullying has gotten worse year after year. But after watching this film, you'll have a better understanding of the consequences of bullying. The actors were remarkable until the end of the movie. There was so much emotion and drama that made me want to watch it again.
raindrops62 This is the best bully drama I've seen. Instead of it being a generic bland story about unbelievable characters this film was beautifully directed and the actors truly make it a heart wrenching tale.Instead of focusing on the victim, is also dives further to discover the bullied and the bully, covering why bullies do what they do. Not since Breakfast Club has a film reminded its audience that there are often 2 victims in cases of bullying.But it also doesn't diminish the fear and horror of the effects of bullying, it truly makes your eyes tear each time you hear the doctor talk to the parents, each time her parents and Brian blame themselves, and remind victims of the consequences of suicide itself on their family and friends.
dagmarort At first I thought the movie was actually a real documentary, only after googling the characters while watching the movie I discovered it wasn't real. The movie is based on a real story and is filmed as if it really happened to the characters in real life, but it is actually totally staged and scripted. I can't get over the fact how amazingly good this film is. I'm not overreacting if I say it is one of the most beautiful eye opening films I've ever seen. The script, the actors, the way of filming, the uncensored footage, everything is exactly how it is supposed to be! I think this movie will get close to home for everyone who has been a victim, a perpetrator or a witness of bullying. This will really wake everybody up, force them to take a look around and to stand up for themselves and/or others. It will hopefully even make bullies realize what they are doing to others, how they make them feel, hopefully causing them to stop doing so.I rate this movie a 10 out of 10 because I can't find a single thing that is wrong. It doesn't only tell one story, the one of the bullied child like usual, but also the one of the bully and the ones of the people that are close to them. It shows an overall, but nevertheless detailed, picture of the daily life in a high school for the bullied/bullies/witnesses. Not only in an American high school, but in almost every high school in every country. The documentary vibe the movies has, makes it even easier to envision how common this is nowadays, and how hurtful it can be. It happens a lot, most of the time without parents or teachers even noticing it. This film gives the perfect representation of the nowadays high schools and it will open up the eyes of a lot of people not noticing how terrible the lives of bullied people can be!
