🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director employs rapid-fire editing that mimics a social media feed, with tight close-ups on characters' faces during moments of public humiliation. The camera often becomes another character's 'phone,' creating a pervasive sense of being watched.

Those who tire of polished high-school narratives will appreciate the raw, cringe-worthy authenticity. What lingers after the credits is a sharp critique of performative identity in the digital age, wrapped in genuine adolescent angst. — MovieFinder Editorial
