don't be bullied

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2014)

I love it when a film like this comes out and generates that wave of IMDb walls of text full of mockery and bitterness, but then turns out to be one of the greatest film viewing experiences of my life. The subtext and allegory is what puts people into that panic as far as I can tell, and in that context this films delivers, with sledgehammers. Once those initial false plot devices are deconstructed and we as viewers are welcomed into the film as participants (around the time the crazy old fart is validated), this film shines. I do not trust the sincerity of some of the negative reviews posted here, because its as if those reviewers either have the perception and discernment of a stone, or perhaps they having simply been frightened...
