Yashua Kimbrough (jimniexperience) A teacher's daughter is murdered and she already knows the culprits .. A movie about the aftermath and consequences of an unjust murder as the teacher (mother) decides to take the law into her own hands - fore it is her job "to make sure these students learn their lesson.""Confessionals" show insight into the teller's mind , their view on the story (murdered child) .. Mom's, star pupil, the killers, and the killer's mom hold down the confession booth . They all have their own story to tell .10/10 Revenge Movie
latinfineart What a completely diabolical story. I am one of the fortunate ones that do not have children. But, I wonder how close to reality this is, in it's fabulously dark and nasty portrayal of today's youth. This film portrays kids who are without hearts or souls, totally disconnected with anyone who is not within their age range, and completely lacking in empathy, compassion, and kindness, and possessing amazing degrees of cruelty, and a withering sense of narcissism and self absorption. The story is told from a point of view of different people who are somehow related to the murderers or the murder itself. I think it is quite an interesting way to tell a story. Seeing it through the eyes of different people gives us a little more perspective on how and why they are feeling that way. It is a story of a mother seeking revenge. Its makes us question humanity and the importance of preserving life. The ending is quite ambiguous, thus it leave the viewers to speculate how it really ended up. The story touches on heavy subjects such as bullying, peer pressure, absentee parenting, poor parenting, troubled youth, violence, and the devastating effect a lack of good role models can have on the kids of today.Children that are led astray by their guardians or their peers can do really frightening things. My guess that the writer/director wanted to show awareness of bullying. It is after all, a huge problem worldwide. This is the type of movie that will make you think twice about being a complete fool, and acting out in ridiculous ways.It starts with a stunning scene, where the teacher makes it known, that she is aware of the culprits amongst her class. These unruly, disrespectful kids, seemingly without a redeeming quality in their entire beings, are shaken up, and subjected to some of the kinds of verbal brutalization they inflict on others, without giving it a second thought. This is a really excellent film. Very well crafted, with great direction. It did not appear that it was a big production, but the effects were quite convincing, the acting was great, and the kids were scary as hell. Is this our future? Are we really in the hands of these souls? I am afraid.
Akhil Balachandran Moriguchi is a school teacher, whose four year old daughter is found dead in the school's swimming pool. As a result, she decides to quit her job. As a Farewell speech, she begins with the importance of life and Later reveals that her child's death was not an accident. She knows the students behind this murder, who are in fact from her own class. The performances were all top notch, especially from Matsu and the kids. It's a dark revenge story that actually works because of its narrative style and It can easily keep the viewers on the edge of their seat. The plot was very impressive and the soundtrack also plays an important role in this flick. The film is quite stunning in every aspects and the overall effect of the movie was awesome.
Naveen Sankaran Right from the word go, the intention of the director was very clear through the frames he presented which may seem odd - a dark intense setup which makes you think something big is coming!I never came across such a story or movie which has such a sensitive disturbing yet brilliant revenge plot. The screenplay is presented in such a way which makes you to rethink almost everything. We have to reinvent every characters, remodel them after almost every confession. This twisty tale makes you know about some real facts as such why young minds want to commit some heinous thing.Amazing camera works supported by a brilliant editing of an intelligently adapted screenplay will surely make you blow away! Simply intelligent narration! Its a dark gem like An Unknown Woman. Watch it!
