A very singular film, that sticks to its premise quite vehemently, but fails to make a strong point. I respect the idea of the film, and it is executed with the proper skill and flair, but after 72 minutes I wasn't quite sure what I was supposed to take away from it. At least it didn't leave me entirely cold. The performances are strong, especially for such young kids. The camera keeps a tight focus on Nora and never leaves the school grounds, which makes for a claustrophobic watch. Other than that, the story about school bullying felt a little underdeveloped and it comes with some very predictable (and gender-conforming) twists. Not bad, but I liked the idea better than I liked the film. Read all
