DO NOT WATCH THIS, unless you want your head messed up for a month

Dreadful ...

... but is it good? Well it's very well made. And you can argue that the acting is really good. It almost feels too real. As in documentary real and painful in a way that you are inside the whole thing, watching some despicable characters and some very awful things happening too. Of course kids will be kids as they say, but how much can they get away with? And how much or how far do they go? It's not that the movie has answers to all the questions.We have a couple of kids who have their own worries and their own lifes. We get to see how they are at home and how they act when they are at school (and with friends). So while I cannot stress out enough, that this movie might feel slow and dragging to some, not to mention a bit dark (to put it mildly), it is also very well made. So if you are into arthouse and real life cinema ... this is it.

Oh, man...

Horrific doesn't even come close.I went in not knowing what to expect and from all descriptions and synopses I read, there was no indication of the brutality I was in for.This thing starts innocently enough, but trust me, it is the farthest thing from innocent on the planet.Worth a watch? I don't know. It wasn't hard to sit through the first hour, but after that things went sideways very quickly and the last 20 minutes was possibly the toughest piece of film I've ever sat through.As another reviewer put it, I'm glad I had the opportunity to watch it, but I'll never ever watch it again. Chilling.
