I refuse--refuse!--to be a part of this!
Some movies are hard to watch, but the hardest are the ones are earnestly made and badly executed. Gerry Orz made this movie (with some help) at the age of 10 or 11. He wrote, directed, and starred in it. He has been the victim of bullying and has done a great deal through official channels to bring attention to the issue. I'm sure he's great guy and he's taken his short film to festivals which is laudable. The foundation of the film is sound and interesting. It's the story of a boy bullied by a bully who is bullied by a bully which all results in terrible consequences for all. That's the nicest thing to be said for The Equation of Life (2014). From here on out, I can either patronize him or criticize every element of the film. Why pick one?
