Review of The Class

The Class (2007)
9/10
Harsh movie to watch
4 September 2011
This movie teaches everyone a really important lesson: if you're going to get bullied, for the love of God don't have it happen to you in Estonia. Roughly 90% of this movie consists of our main character getting humiliated, beaten and totally ripped to shreds by a deranged gang of...wait, that's just his class? Like, from school? That's pretty messed-up. The viewing experience of "Klass" is that of an anti-movie. Most movies thrive on suspension of disbelief, this however is a movie you simply don't want to believe. The young actors are all very convincing, sickeningly convincing as a matter of fact. This movie almost looks too real, makes it a really uncomfortable watch. The ending is also really powerful because of the intensely raw look this movie employs. If you're really determined to ever watch an Estonian film, it might as well be this one.
