Review of After Lucia

After Lucia (2012)
3/10
Terrible, unless you want to see a film about bullying

I give 3/10 only for the bullying storyline... This film in my opinion was a total waste of time; if you want to see a film documenting school bullying, where you're pretty much accepting to visually endure severe abuse of a person, who quickly gives in trying to protect themselves then you may appreciate the film.

The main character accepts weakness pretty quickly as she falls into depression and accepts all the abuse. In the end I imagine the intention of the film is to suggest she made all the bullies feel guilty for what they had done to her, as they believed her to be dead somewhere in the ocean, whereas she was in fact truly alive back in her native hometown.

However, I found this film could have said as much if it was a 15minute short and in reality I don't believe her death would affect the bullies so much, if people can be as cruel to torture a human they previously associated with as a friend, then I do not personally believe the guilt would be a tremendous debt for them to live with.

The final scene where one bully is thrown into the ocean is great but i'd rather it have been the fat rapist than the guy she consensually had sex on camera with, yes it was disgusting that the sh1thead posted that to her father or whoever did, I just think they all deserved abuse back but mostly the rapist and the girls because they abused her the most severely.

Better ending? If he fed all of their bodies to sharks :)
