Charlie Polinger's drama about tweenager peer pressure is a disturbingly accurate meditation on social conformity, with Everett Blunck in one of the best child performances, ever.
Thanks Skip, I really appreciate that! In honesty this was not the most ideal writing circumstances. I saw the movie about two months ago, someone else was going to write the review but had to drop out. So I wrote this in about 40 minutes. Normally I hate doing a review so long after viewing, but this movie stayed with me so much I found I could easily recall the emotions and impressions I experienced when I did see it. I'd say that's more a testament to the film's power than my writing skills -- but I'll still take the compliment!
Wow, Chris, you’ve put a movie about bullying on my must-see list! What a thoughtful, insightful review.
