Look, this isn't a movie you put on for entertainment. It's a tool—a powerful, gut-wrenching tool for starting conversations about bullying that actually matter.
The documentary format makes it feel uncomfortably real (because it is), and the suicide attempt isn't some background detail—it's the catalyst for everything. This is heavy stuff that could genuinely upset vulnerable kids, so you need to know your audience.
That said, if you've got a mature high schooler and you want to talk about the reality of bullying beyond the usual 'be kind' platitudes, this film does that work. It shows how insidious relational aggression is, how bystanders enable abuse, and how former friends can become tormentors. The enrichment value is real.
But please—and I cannot stress this enough—this requires parental involvement. Watch it together, talk about it, and make sure your kid is in a good mental space before you start. This isn't a 'throw it on and hope for the best' situation. It's a 2015 indie drama that feels a bit dated in execution but the content remains painfully relevant.
