Goofs

When everybody is reading the issue of the "Hollands Dagblad" newspaper with the story about the death of Jochem, a close-up shows the headline "Pesten oorzaak zelfmoord leerling" (Bullying cause of students suicide). The actual text of the article is not the text Davids mom was writing about the bullying of Jochem, but an article about the political campaign of the PVV of Geert Wilders.

User Reviews

My high hopes came true, SPIJT

I had high hopes for this film and they came true.

the movie I'm really shows a good picture of bullying and not only from the background of the bullied , but you also get a good look behind the motivation of the bullies and how difficult it is to sit in a classroom and not say anything against it.

The acting, I found very good, The story even better.

at times the movie is different from the book, but not in a negative way

I give this movie 9 stars, and I hope that this film will be shown in many high schools
