CGiii Comment

A somewhat unhinged teenager goes completely off the rails...

The over-acting is unrelenting - especially by Jorge Clemente (and the bully) - it's absolutely draining to watch. This fault being of the director's making...more control over the young actors!

Unlike the other characters, there is no light & shade with Aritz (the unhinged)...despite the obvious mental health issues, he elicits no empathy...

The direction is - in places - a little too stylised, reminiscent of A Clockwork Orange...but, technically, it's a finely shot film.

Reel in the actors, introduce empathy and sort out the ending...!
