From Under the Bridge: When Bullies Become Trolls

A friend highly recommended I see this short film at the end of 2021 and I have to say I was completely blown away. It is very strong as a fictional drama/suspense/thriller with some twists and parallel stories but the fact it's all based on a terrible true incident gives it that something extra you look for in a film. The acting is really good and the lead actress gave me chills and a solid lump in my throat. I found the bullying scene tough to watch because it was so real and so well acted by all 3 of the teen actors. The dialogue is perfect and raw and I found the writing to be brilliant. I watched it a couple of times just to dissect the script because the whole film just felt so smooth. All the characters contributed something to the story and to the messages in the story. But the messages don't smother the film. Instead they compliment the film superbly. After I watched the film, I talked about it with my friend who recommended it and we tried to pinpoint the reason it's so good. But there are lots of reasons. It is well-balanced, well-directed, well-acted, and most importantly, well-written. And with a really great story. The attention to detail is also something to commend. We also agreed the characters are very relatable, as are many of the situations. Let the messages seep in but while you watch this film for the entertaining experience and powerful piece it is. We absolutely loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
