User review:

I caught the film on TV by accident and couldn’t pull myself away. I ended up watching it to the end which finished around 3am. I was suprized by the amount of gritty violence and language it included but at the same time became engrossed in 3 young boy’s lives.

I thought the film was made perfectly to reflect on the life of school children who are bullied and ignored by the rest of the world. Kids go home crying and parents never have a ‘real’ idea of what happened. A punch, kick or even something like name-calling is what they will presume but “Sticks & Stones” shows it all. The violence, embarrassment, fear and the friendship of what happens in children’s lives.

It was both a feel good and think about film. At times I found myself wanting to hold a gun to Hayes’ head but later on wanted to comfort him.

An excellent film without a doubt, one that makes you think about life…
