This movie certainly turns up the outrage to the point where my blood was boiling knowing that issues of bullying, rape, and suicide continue to plague high schools all over the world, but the greater tragedy is the systems that are allowed to remain in place, which more often blames and ultimately fail the victim.
I agree mostly with the Han Cinema review by William Schwartz that the amount of suffering Jaya endured was heavy-handed, eclipsing the majority of the movie, allowing us briefly to empathize with her father's feeling of helplessness and revenge.
Unfortunately, much of Jaya's suffering and death are in vain due to her father's cerebral palsy, as he goes on a sort of mentally challenged rampage that falls way short of meeting my criteria for vigilante justice.
Like Mr. Schwartz, I thought maybe she would've done better going with the social worker in the beginning.
