Beautiful Movie

I honestly really loved this movie. It's one of the best and real movies i've ever seen. It really touched me (and hardly any movie actually touches me). The movie makes me very glad that i don't live in USA, and i don't think it will make me want to move there too. I'm still at high-school myself, and i'm very glad that things like that don't happen at our school. Yes, my French teacher can be really mean sometimes and yes, i'm sure there were people on our school who used to get bullied, but people like the bullies at the school in the movie really need help, there is something wrong with them! I think it's great that it's shown that those mean people also have feelings: you see the worst bully back off when his brother tells him about the girl they raped. I also think it's great that the movie confronts the people with the fact at the ending, all the kids who killed people at school really freaked me out.

The only thing i didn't like was that it was such a short movie! Only 87 minutes. But i still give this movie a 9.8 out of 10, at least! Brilliant, completely underrated movie, i think anyone who is interested in these kind of stories should see this movie.
