Muhammad M A must watch movie for EVERYBODY This is the movie that every parent or grandparent must watch to be aware of if they're children or grandchildren could have been bullied or might be bullying to others. If you don't have young children still you must watch this movie and I'm sure it will make you think about your past where either you or bullied or you bullied others. This movie might persuade you of still taking some corrective measures and play your role in the eradication or minimization of curse of bullying. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/15/24 Full Review Minecraft O Wow. I don't usually write reviews (this is my first one), but I just had to write one for this movie. It was atrocious. This movie is NOT helpful, insightful, or even remotely good at portraying the topics it attempts to in an effective way. The only thing impressive about it is how well it can completely f*ck up such an important and sensitive topic. They put the main focus of the movie on the bully, Avery. A totally irredeemable obnoxious b*tch who the movie is OBSESSED with sympathizing for. Avery literally makes a girl try to kill herself by harassing and verbally assaulting her on the daily, and the movie coddles her so f***ing much it is infuriating. It repeats the message of how "bullies aren't usually happy people themselves" and sh*t, but it's so goddamn stupid. Nobody gives a f*ck if Avery is a little self-conscious or feels alone sometimes. She literally made someone feel so bad they tried to KILL THEMSELVES because of her. Avery does not feel one bit of regret or even sympathy for Jessica (the girl who attempted suicide) for 99% of the movie. She posts a video online saying how she is innocent, and Jessica (who is still in a f***ing coma in the hospital) is a little b*tch. And, of course, there is the timeless line by Avery's mom, "Did the bullying put her in the coma, or did she put herself in the coma by swallowing the pills?" Holy f***ing sh*t, most of the characters in this movie are inhumane, think-headed, cartoonishly-evil morons. And the movie still dares to claim that Avery's story is "the most important." Like, no???? Avery's story of turning into a bully is NOT the most important; it's Jessica's, the girl who attempted suicide. You can't learn anything from watching the bully's story except "bullying is bad" or the message the movie wants you to take away, "bullies don't have it good either." Jessica's story of her suicide and depression shows the victim of bullying's declining mental health and the tragic and disturbing moment when they decide life isn't worth living anymore. THAT is impactful. Avery's bulls**t is not. They show a couple of scenes of her crying at the end and finally feeling bad for what she did, but at that point, it's so hard to even care. And the desperate attempts the movie makes to try to make you feel bad for her are so stupid I genuinely have no idea why they even tried. She "had no one to talk to." Is that supposed to make the fact she bullied someone into suicide any better???? Also, spoiler alert, Jessica survives in the end, only making it less impactful as everything turned out okay in the end. F*ck, this movie sucks. It's not worth watching; it'll just make you mad. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Stephen C This film admirably addresses the critical topics of bullying and suicide, offering a comprehensive portrayal of various perspectives, including the dynamics between the bully and the bullied, the impact on families, and the role of friends. It effectively captures the complexity of these issues. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/24 Full Review AblissMusic Heartbreaking but really entertaining and I thought that the actors did a phenomenal job at playing their role Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/10/23 Full Review Nim T This film was emotional, yet truthful of the long-lasting issue of bullying that takes place in school. It did not feel like a movie as it was related to my personal experience. The actresses that play the lead did a spot-on job on what it feels like to be the bully and the victim at the same time. With the lack of support or the fear that one might have, it is a good wake up call for those that suffer should speak up. Heart-throbbing to watch the character suffer innocently, but nevertheless a simple production one worth to watch. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/15/22 Full Review Audience Member This movie deserves way higher ratings than what it got!!
