Jens B @Jens97 Jan 11 "System Crasher" is my first major disappointment of the still-young year, after critics and audiences alike showered it with praise. I simply can't understand it. Nora Fingscheidt's second feature film is nothing more than pure, public-service-broadcasting feel-good cinema. A film for people who are very well off, perhaps too well off, and therefore develop a need for a safe catharsis. Because instead of seriously engaging with social work and the field of child and youth welfare, "System Crasher" simply ticks off the classic story tropes. The constantly shaky camera and natural lighting are supposed to create "realism." However, the script is diametrically opposed to this goal: A school aide who takes a nine-year-old girl alone to a cabin in the woods for three weeks, for which he has absolutely no training? This same aide takes Benni home with him, thereby endangering his own family? Serious injuries aren't treated for hours?

See more 07/06/2021 Benni is a 9 year old kid. She freaks out frequently, hurt kids at her school, curse at them and is quite a handful for everyone involved. Her mother can't take real care of her and the system really don't know what to do. We follow her at different fascilities and how she bonds with people that treats her bad, nice and everyone that let her down. A very, very relevant and strong movie. As I work with kids myself I know of these kind of kids. This portays the reality very good, even if it's a bit extremes and a few turns get really out of hand. The development is nice and two hours never seem long. Amazing acting from our young protagonist while others also delivers impressively on screen. Few known names, a solid production but most importantly a much needed and interesting film that gives us the difficult and big matter of children that crash systems ment to favour kids. 8.5 out of 10 owls.

See more 03/10/2021 A really sad movie, you will keep rooting for this little girl to find some solution to her ordeal until the end! The performance of Helena Zengel is superb, a rising star!
