A well made film, technically, but I found the story unbelievable. Alejandra is a new girl in a Mexican school, still grieving for her recently deceased mother. She soon makes the serious mistake of having sex with a handsome boy, who videos the event, with her knowledge, and then, without her knowledge, causes the video to be sent round the school. Charming!.Thereafter the bullying is ceaseless. My complaint is this: what no other reviewer, I think, has pointed out is that in all this class of school children and their horrifically escalating violence towards the meekly submitting Alejandra, not one of them shows for one moment any decent human feeling for the girl. Some reviewers tell us that this sort of wholesale 'everyone against one child' bullying happens all the time. I don't believe it.
The ironic ending is powerful (suitable for a Greek tragedy), but not original.
