WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
alyssa-65981 When I read the caption about it, it looked really good because I see people get bullied every day,usually I am always a bystander and never fight back cuz usually I am not the person who wants to go against people who are rude to people,also people who bully u guys are going through a hard time or someone bullied them first and then they start and think it is fun
spooky_possum I didn't pay too much attention at the start to the cast and quickly read what the film was about then got so immersed in the movie that I believed it was a real documentary. I believed Jessica was real and her best friend the nerdy Brian so convincing. Also the film crew and the way they approached the bully Avery...great reason for having the film crew there by the way. I don't cry at movies but I bawled at this one. Not into writing reviews either but had to review this one! Avery is so convincing as the bully, the liar and eventually having been found out, the girl who looks long and hard at herself and finds the good within. One thing I did not find convincing was the eyes at the end of the film opening. Jess had to have her heart restarted and the Dr told the parents all her organs were failing and that it was up to Jessica now. You expect her to die, then she wakes up. A more convincing line would have been for her to die. Sorry.
Ersbel Oraph A practical production team made an exploitation movie waiting for some fascist white parents who need to make a display of how much they do for their precious children to buy.It is a movie made by adults for adults, all playing the caring game. The story is dull. The acting is to the assumed level of low budged educational movie. The editing is also unpleasant as it is the waving camera, and I don't mean the hidden camera.Expect to go past half time before the hidden camera footage starts showing.And this run for profits won't make any good. There is nothing for the teens about how to get out. There is nothing for the adults about how to talk with the teens. There is nothing for the state employees of how to help. At best, groups of hysterical individuals will just add even more absurd rules that would make the life in the mandatory school system even harder to bear. And because of the extra pressure, the teens will be lashing out even worse.And, like the writes and producers, nobody will ever care about the actual people. Because on screen there are no people. Only cardboard cutouts for the archetypes that the adults have met. Why is any of them doing any of the things? Everything is open so the emotional crowd would fill in the gaps. Why the attractive girl is doing that? 1. Because is beautiful. And 2. Because ... and the loser white middle class parents will fill in their story of well fed misery.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch
PsychoFluff This was a very well made, realistic & thought provoking film; right until the end. Jessica waking and Aviary being sorry for all that she had done was completely unrealistic. Narcissistic bullies like Aviary don't feel sorry for the pain they cause others. I know, I've been on the receiving end of it and they just grow up to be narcissistic bullying adults.Unfortunately the reality of it is, the bullying continues, people kill themselves because of it and they don't have a miraculous recovery with their bully suddenly seeing the light. The just don't. The ending of this film gives false hope to those going through this and fuel to the bully's fire.Its not that I wanted a depressing or sad ending, I just wanted a realistic one which fitted with the rest of the film, not a 'Hollywood Happy' one.And to anyone being bullied out there. Keep at it. Keep going. You WILL get through it, believe me; I've been there. The best way to get back at them is let them see you NOT reacting. Don't let them see that they are getting to you, no matter how hard it might be. You can do it and you will go on to be an amazing person because of it.
