The Worst Film Ever

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

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.

An excellently crafted message around the causes, effects and ultimate inability to effectively deal with bullying in schools.The characters were well cast and the story line subtle enough so that neither get in the way of exposing the utter despair and denial that underlies the lives of both the bullied and the bullies.Some may think the degree of bulling in the film is not very extreme, that's the point, it is to show how bullying is personal and that is what makes any bullying so destructive.Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me....judge for yourselves once you watch the film. Anyone who has been bullied or been a bully who now knows better will be moved by this film. The abject lack of institutional accountability shown by the school board is telling but the film does an excellent job helping the viewer understand why this is the case. There are a few unspoken truths brought to the surface.Powerful stuff.

It's nice to see someone actually deal with this issue that is often swept aside and not dealt with. As a person that spent nearly half of their school years being bullied I know what it feels like to question everything about yourself and this hit close to home. From the stand point of the victim it's a very good portrayal, both writing wise and acting wise.I have to say it's also very refreshing to see both sides of the story, most of the previous movies I have seen on the subject tends to be one-sided and often unrealistic. This is what life looks like for many teenagers all over the world and I am so glad someone had the guts to deal with the subject and show the world what is happening behind closed doors.The thing that drags down the score a bit for me is the documentary style filming. It doesn't really draw you in from the start and you have to actually give the movie a chance to get started. However it is definitely a good educational movie that I would recommend, and as the title says an emotional ride. At least if you have somehow been involved in similar situations.

When I first saw this movie I added it to my watch list but after read in the description I thought it'd be a lifetime movie style, cheesy, high school bullying story. I decided to give it a try anyway out of boredom. What I thought would be a cheesy film actually turned out to be pretty realistic and tragically sad. The whole nation is all about bullying these days and I for one think things have gone a little over the top. But this film accurately portrays the events that lead up to teen suicide in the events of bullying. This movie is different in the fact that they show both sides of the story; the bully and the victim. This is a movie that could be shown in schools as a warning, if it wasn't for some swearing.
