The Class (2007)

Wonderful character development!

Truly Dreadful Film

Absolutely brilliant

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

watching this movie will really hurt you. It's not made to win awards and s..t it is made to hurt u and fills you with anger toward bullies It reminds me of some nice friends who got bullied in the class for no reason. it's amazing work. A must see wallah. the plot may be a little expected but as i said, it's not made to satisfy a large audience. just keep in mind to not watch before you sleep or you will not be happy with your dreams. I am really amazed as well by the camera work. it is terrific let alone the back ground music. from now on i will start searching for Estonia's films because this one gave a good image about the film industry there

This film is a bit over the top, but was sufficiently realistic to engage me. Some low-level schools may approach this level of violence and depravity- I hope not. But the movie itself should be a good teaching tool for all, especially students. Most importantly, that young people have to go to adults when they are in trouble.Criticisms: while it was nice to see the concept of 'honor' mentioned for a change, it could have been developed a bit more. Also, I have been to Estonia, and the people were very nice. But the youth of Estonia are shown as a bunch of psychopaths.Some have mentioned "Elephant', I guess I will have to see it.

Wow.. I have to say I am still stunned after what I just saw, couldn't stop myself from writing a review instantaneously. Story is that a guy named Joosep is constantly bullied by the whole class, and when another boy, Kaspar, tries to stop other kids in the class from bullying Joosep, the other kids starts bullying both Joosep and Kaspar.At one point of time, it becomes so much that both of them takes the most extreme step. We might just say that, Joosep could have done something different, but really he didn't have any option. When the entire world is against you, you can't do anything else. One astonishing thing that I saw was role of the teachers in this flick. I know that most of the teachers, elders are like that. They are so much into their own s#it, that they really don't care. Teachers have really good idea, but they don't do anything.When you are actually watching movie, you actually waiting for Andres, Paul and other accomplices to be punished. This is indeed one of the most horrifying films I've ever seen, horror in the face of harsh reality.And, as Kaspar said you have to stand up for yourself. As, IT IS ABOUT HONOUR.

Holy mother! It doesn't matter what kind of person you are; if you watch this movie, you will experience the same feelings as the characters: despair, depression, anger, self-disregard, fear and courage.During the movie I cried for the sorrow of a certain character, while hating the other for his actions. Every scene seems to bring a new feeling and it's played so natural as if it was happening 5 feet away from you.Beside that, this film will not force you into old movie clichés, or unreal life heroes or acts of bravery and strenght we're used to see is most of western cinema. This is why this has such a great impact on the viewer: it's real!I don't speak estonian, but the actors, despite very young went perfectly.
