Good premise, but everything is too exaggerated. The film wants to hammer the message into the mind of the audience and there are too fe nuances. Less would've been more.

En film som river i hjärtat. Som får en att tänka på den egna skolgången, och barnens dito.

...en film som känns i hela kroppen. Den brutalt ärliga porträtteringen av både fysisk och psykisk misshandel mellan barn och ungdomar är mycket gripande och samtidigt jobbig att ta del av.
