User review:

This film is an extraordinary performance by Antoine Olivier Pilon, who seems mature well beyond his years. A story of bullying and homophobia in schools – which could be anywhere – this depiction highlights the sense of entrapment felt by teenagers when in crisis. These are magnified by the power of technology and the omnipresence of the harassment, 24/7.

I have read the earlier reviews and am astounded – did they watch the same film as I had?

This is brilliantly directed, down to the athletics scenes. They were so realistic.

I hate the use of “important” when it comes to movies, but for many confronted by bullying – either as victims or perpetrators – there can be few other words to describe this.

I was profoundly affected by this piece – it was moody, sensitive, raw and brutal.

This review is for the movie Lonely Child AKA Dogme 95, the movie I ordered as a substitute.
Lonely Child is an independent movie about a young man filming his best friend and two other friends, all in their early 20s, with a handheld video cam, following them on a road trip to spend at the lakeside.
It’s a combination of candid clips of the trio being themselves and a one-on-one interview with the main character, ending with the filmmaker talking him into stripping.
It’s all innocent fun. However, since it’s a homemade movie, the lighting isn’t the best.
The movie concludes with everyone relaxing around the campfire. Good film.
