Frightening & Intense Scenes
Severe
The main theme is of a group of children intimidating and bullying other children, mostly without actual violence but it is an ever-present threat. The way the film is shot adds to the sense of discomfort at what is being shown, the audience being made into voyeurs and almost complicit in what happens.
