From Under the Bridge: When Bullies Become Trolls

'Under the Bridge' is a beautifully told, heart wrenching true story about the trials and tribulations of being a teenage girl. Exploring the horrors of high school hierarchy, Clare finds herself a victim of her peers; but is soon to find refuge in an online chat forum. This film is beautifully acted, with a special mention to Piper Reese who perfectly captures the anguish and desolation of being a victim of bullying. Paul James Houghton is a masterful director and writer, who accurately and thoughtfully approaches a delicate subject. This film truly is a must watch with its expert storytelling and crucial message.

The film is based on real life events and shows the dangers of cyberbullying. The internet has made bullying even easier and the bullies do not see the damage they are causing to the person at the other end. In the film, the main character Clare is bullied in person and online to the point where she takes her own life. It is never easy to tell the story of a such a traumatizing event, but director Paul James does a masterful job with handling the sensitive topic.

Really heartbreaking but true story. Unfortunately, today's reality! Bullying is everywhere especially between teenagers, even really really young ages. The message has to be heard by everyone! Schools and families have to take actions for bullying and be aware of this issue.

I saw this movie during London Lift-off Film Festival and really loved it. So touching and tragic true story. Everyone must be aware of this truth. This movie needs to be a feature! Because it helps to raise awareness for bullying.

Not only the message is so important but also acting, directing was amazing! Congratulations to Paul James Houghton and the whole crew! You've made must-watch movie.

Saw this film during the London Film Festival this week and had to write a quick review. It's an astonishing film which resonated with me. If you've ever been bullied or been in a position where other people have been the cause of your depression or degradation of your mental health, this film will likely hit you hard. It's a subject and story delicately turned into a film by Paul James and I'm in ore of his accomplishment. There is some language in the film but I think it is necessary to accurately define the characters. Teens curse, bad teens curse more. Congratulations to Paul and everyone who helped make this important and relevant film. It's a great achievement and you should all be proud.

This movie is based on a really sad true story. But it is how the movie is made and delivered that makes it capable of bringing on the tears. I love how deep the story is and the links between the characters. You can really see the cause and effect of bullying and abuse throughout. Yes it is very sad, but it also kept me on the edge of my seat. It's really good and interesting and I can't remember when a movie last moved me in so many different ways. The acting is amazing and I was honestly surprised to see such flawless performances in every role. The lead actress is great and I really liked the performances by the main bully (Luc) and his brother (Chris). The female bully was also really good. As was her mom (I think this is Rachel Aleg - very scary and sinister) - she really delivers in the role. Watch this movie, it's short but really is worth it. I love this movie and it has changed me.
