What happens when the screen becomes a lectern. Without benefit of so much as one acclimatizing image or inaugural character to provide footing, even before a title hits the screen the filmmaker’s intent is clearly spelled out for us: “School bullying is a worldwide phenomenon… We hope this film will engage and unite us against bullying.” Note to director Derek Tsang: even if a bully should accidentally happen to stumble across your movie, it would no doubt be unintentional.

Her assailants notwithstanding, Chen Nian (Dongyu Zhou) was the last classmate to see the victim alive. Add to the bullying the pressure of studying for the National College Entrance exams the two subplots never coalesce and Chen, herself the target of unwarranted aggression, is about to crack from the pressure.

In an interview with Efe, Tsang talked about what prompted him to focus on the topic.
“It wasn’t really until smartphones and social media platforms became popular that I came into contact with this abundance of videos of kids just doing very brutal things to each other,” he said.
