    • Quotes

      Jay Rosenblatt: For me the memory was vague; all I knew for sure is that it happened and I participated.

    • Crazy credits
      The very end of the credits features more stop motion animation of the Dick photo on the playground as it quickly "walks" off-screen.

    There are a lot of one-star ratings here for a reason
    And mine is one of them. This film was manipulative and dishonest. Much like bullies themselves. It is revealing that the director did not choose to actually talk with anyone about schoolyard bullying. Avoidance of responsibility and consequences color this project throughout.
