CGiii Comment

You have to watch this...

Please...be his friend...show him a little kindness...please.

The cruelty is unbearable...

Thank you...for not protecting me - heartbreaking, seriously heartbreaking.

Raag's direction is strictly for the MTV generation and that is exactly who this should be aimed at...there are moments of sublime and undiluted genius.

Yes...genius, the brief scene of inherited bullying has electrifying power. A mighty shock and it's gone.

The thank you...never has a thank you been so loaded with despair.

The blinkered impotence of the adults - the teachers...

The inane fatherly advice...and the table turning...

Raag has created, unarguably, a masterpiece.

It's that simple...a harsh, horrific masterpiece.

The(ir) Blurb...

Kaspar and the class pushover Joosep are 16 and life in high school isn't easy. Without meaning to, Kaspar defends Joosep against the bullying of his classmates, but every time Kaspar tries to him, it backfires, with the class taking it out on Joosep. Kaspar just wants his friends, his girl and his unassuming life back. Joosep wants to regain his dignity and the chance to switch to a high school far away. But their classmates are relentless, going further and further with each incident.
