More redundant than offensive.

At least it doesn't lack in big moments where people cry and scream.

Time Out

It barely tries to offer insight into its much-debated subject, content to rip the scab off an ever-fresh wound for the sake of controversy.

Rated: 1/5

It's a call to look at ourselves, our families, our schools, our workplaces, and our communities and doing everything that is within our power to do.

Lacks any kind of elegance or finesse, instead bluntly bludgeoning its audience with the obvious, exuding all the grace of high school theatrical production.

Eye for Film

Hello Herman suffers not so much from its boldly stated anti-bullying agenda but from its failure to come to any conclusions.

Focuses more on adult characters and their problems than the title character himself who happens to be the textbook stereotype of depressed bullied white boy school shooter.

i enjoyed the lack of conclusion as it mirrored real life and how with mots of these murders there are 100 causes, but we rarely understand what causes them
