rawsquel This was an absolute crap. Don't get me wrong, Maisie Williams' acting is on point. But wow this script is bad.Now I just want to be a cyberbully for some reason. This movie depicts normal circle-jerking on the internet as cyberbullying and totally missed what it means to "don't feed the troll" (ironic, isn't it). The only good part about it was the ending when she finally closed the computer.I liked the format. Only one character on screen for the most time wasn't that bad, could have been great without the awful story behind it.The movie was slow and the plot forced. I hope I'm the first one to criticize it like that and that an "har-har-cker" will force me to admit my deeds, overdose and get my life destroyed.God, that was awful.

King Critic See, indie movies fall under two categories: artsy, preachy, and empty or interesting, cool and fulfilling. Cyberbully is under the second category. See the reason is because this movie actually understands the issue its addressing unlike the other Cyberbullying movie that I can't stand, and not only that but the entire movie is set inside one room, with one actress: Maisie Williams, who gives a fantastic performance! Gripping, interesting, and an overall good film, and best of all shines a good light on its issue. Its a shame Ms Williams is not in more films because she is a great actress, especially here. In this movie, she talks to a computer program for most of it, and its a very impressive performance. So watch it, but you need to be mature to watch it, a boat ton of cursing lies ahead, but also a well written script.

luke-a-mcgowan Cyberbully is a surprisingly effective, well-paced thriller considering the small world issues it faces and the small world environment in which it takes place. Within only five minutes, I was hooked. First off the bat, Maisie Williams was startlingly good as Casey, the film's only real actress, and she carries the short film on her young shoulders. She wanes between hysterical and depressed and upset with talent that escapes her more high profile Game of Thrones co- stars. The direction is superb - the film is as taut as a wire for most of its first half.However, where the film's best and worst assets are is in its screenplay. For the first 45 minutes or so, I was captivated by the interplay between Casey and her hacker. Then when he begins goading her into committing suicide, I was taken out of the film and never got back in. Had the film concluded with the hacker being a suicide victim's father, I would have been much happier with it. Instead, it goes on and on, and whilst the conclusion was quite effective, once the hacker's motives became too dark and convoluted, it was hard to remain as engrossed as I was earlier.Overall, Cyberbully is an important film, tackling its subject matter with strength and poise, and is carried by strong direction and an amazing performance from Maisie Williams.

ianlouisiana As the Internet replaces television as the most influential of all communications media it is with no small sense of irony that a TV play seeks to portray it as the root of all evil. But,as the NRA would have it - "Guns don't kill people;people kill people". And,unfortunately,there are far more evil people lurking in the dark anonymity of the internet than in the mean streets of any city. And the victims,thinking themselves secure in their comfortable bedrooms,are even more vulnerable. Nowadays playground taunts have metamorphosed into full - blown life threatening rants that have caused children to take their own lives. "Cyberbully" tells of one such vulnerable child who is targeted by a so - called troll and badgered to the extent that she takes an overdose of her prescribed medication. It's easy for someone of my generation to be scathing about the dependence of a younger generation on "Facebook","Twitter" and so forth,but I can and do understand that circumstances and peer pressure make up a large part of such dependency,and that the idea of simply turning the machine off and clearing the hard drive would be a bit like destroying a much - loved puppy because it had wet the carpet. The play conveys a sense of social isolation despite the cyber "presence" of the child's friends ;also the claustrophobic effect of hardly ever leaving the one small room except for going to school. "Cave machinem" may have been the intention,but,as ever,man's greatest enemy remains man.
