The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

This movie showed how it really feels to be the victim and the bully. Hoping this would change how some people treat other people. Superb on how emotions were shown as they really suffered something like that. Most of us have... One of the movies that will never be forgotten. From beginning til the end it felt so real that as if I was there as well. 10/10 for everything.

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.

This movie impressed me. It shows bullying from both perspectives, especially what it can do to the victim, who was nearly driven to suicide, and the oppressor was given a chance to express her side of things. I liked the filming and points of view of the movie, as it was filmed in a news style and documentary style, kind of like the way The Office or Parks and Recreation were filmed, except this was no sitcom. The harassment scenes were a bit difficult to watch, though, and the girl's reaction and wanting to confide in her friend and film it were good. Hunter King's scenes towards the end were excellent. This is a good movie to show anyone in high school. It has a different perspective now with cyber and text bullying and harassment. All the performances were top notch, and you will love the last shot.*** out of ****

Even though the pace of this movie was slow-going, the ending and the fact that it made me sob made it for me. I think this movie was important, though a bit cliché. Though I don't know the exact amount of sleeping pills it would take to kill yourself, I doubt the 10-15 Jessica took would do it. It would probably severely inhibit her, possibly destroy her liver, or other horrors, but death would probably not occur. Human lives are fragile but they are very difficult to take. So (spoiler) I wasn't really surprised when she made it in the end. I liked that this movie took the approach of sympathizing with the bully, actually. Bullies are human, too, and I think we often forget that. Though I strongly disliked Avery's character in this movie, I could sympathize when she was upset about what she did. Most everyone has bullied at some point in their life, not many to this extent, but we do have to learn to forgive ourselves. That being said, we must try not to bully once we've noticed we have, but I digress. It's important to spread awareness, so this movie is good in that respect, but some things seemed slightly inaccurate to me. Like I said, the dosage wasn't enough to kill an average teenager, and I was surprised the principal or authorities didn't check social media for bullying instances once there were allegations against Avery. That stuff is online forever, and you can find it if you know how to look for it. Also, the acting was okay, not bad, not great. I do, however, love Jimmy Bennett so it was cool to see him in this. But I wish they would have at least given Jessica a little bit of a personality. All I know about her is that she's shy, non-confrontational, and knows a fact about laughing. I understand if she didn't fight back when Avery was abusive, but you'd think she'd at least try to run away or ignore her or something. I don't know, I guess I'm just comparing myself to Jessica because I totally would've decked Avery and gotten in trouble while Avery'd get off scot-free because that's just how life works.
