Review of The Class

The Class (2007)
6/10
Some psychology with small flaws but a VERY important subject
18 October 2008
The story does not feel authentic it feels in some parts manufactured. Parents behavior and the children's behavior is very believable, but I am having trouble with the principal and some of the teachers, not that they don't want to see, which often happen, but that they so easily buy lies fed to them, being senior as all of them are they should know better than so quickly threaten the very victims in this movie without investigating more. It seems manufactured just to prove the point that grownups don't understand.

So the whole movie plays and you're sitting there seeing no solution to the root cause of the problem, and also feeling the director want no solution to the problem, and you are wondering if that is all this movie is about, to have an experience with no real point in the end.

But in the end the point around which this movie is built is revealed. And it is a very important subject. The movie itself I give a 4 but since the subject is so important, reflecting recent real life tragedies, I add 2.

And I share the writer/producers possible view that with 95% certainty what is shown in the movie is the cause of tragedies like these.
