Needed Expert Insight
I recommend watching thus documentary. However, it was irresponsible to show the perpetrator's deranged attempts at victimization and justification without having an expert in psychology chiming in about this behavior. It is insane the perpetrator didn't get more jail time given the content of the texts.
An interesting documentary, but it leaves too many questions.
This documentary is about the vulgar and aggressive harassment of a teenage couple, and later others.
The film could have even received 10 stars because it addresses an important and current issue, but unfortunately, many questions remain after its release.
I won't say who the perpetrator was (many people have already mentioned that in their reviews), so it's no mystery. Besides the perpetrator, a few other surprising things about this case are: 1. Anyone with any knowledge of computers (and I'm not talking about programming skills, but the basic knowledge of networking, like a smart high school student setting up a router in their home) would have started this case by checking the internet gateway and the sender's IP address. In this case, even though the kids received dozens of vulgar threats daily, the IP address was checked after... 18 months. :0 Doesn't it occur to anyone in every cyberbullying case to do what should be routine procedure? Do such procedures even exist?
2. How can a perpetrator pretend to work for at least a year without the perpetrator's family realizing that the perpetrator has neither a job nor an income? :0 3. The film explains that the perpetrator is prohibited from contacting the victim, but it doesn't provide any information about whether the perpetrator has received psychiatric treatment.
Considering that viewers were shocked to discover who the perpetrator was, it's understandable that the filmmakers focused primarily on this aspect. However, this film begs to be answered.

Absolutely zero sympathy for the perp
A very shocking documentary.
I guessed the perpetrator within 5 mins of watching this documentary. Surely the perpetrator has a mental illness but I felt for the victims and the victims innocent friends, family, relatives. Absolutely no sympathy or understanding for the perpetrator. The biggest shock was the content of the messages to the victim. The BS coming from the perpetrator about people do make mistakes in their lives is a dumb excuse of their own culpability. I also think the perpetrator lied about not sending the original messages around Halloween to the victim. It's unbelievable, but no amount of psychology is gonna excuse this perpetrators behaviour, and the perpetrators messages could have caused the victim to commit harm to themselves. Using excuses of trauma of your own childhood, irrelevant of how bad or serious, as reasons for your behaviour towards another person is inexcusable, even if your intentions are ultimately good.
Bullying used to be face to face and confrontational, but with technology and social media, bullying is worse and very destructive. Telecoms providers need to do more, social media companies need to do a lot more. It's frustrating because it is possible but their greed for user data and revenue appears to be more important than the safety of vulnerable people.
There is plenty of technology available that can be used to clone the victims phones, trace the recieving messages and use the cell phone provider to monitor incoming/outgoing calls and messages to/from the unknown number. Even if the perpetrator is using apps to generate random numbers or disguise their number, including IP Addresses.
I'm not sure why this took over a year to resolve.

Annoying at times. Way too much sympathy for the antagonist psychopath
This film started off great. The delivery with the cinematography and graphics keeps you wanting more and awake. Then about midway through the film, after a lot of buildup, the viewer gets sick of waiting for a conclusion. Once the cat is out of the bag there is way too much emphasis on the emotions of the abuser, not the victim. The abuser is not at all looked at in any depth. Instead, they get to say their piece repeatedly while everyone else in the film is sidestepped. Considering what a horrible person the abuser is, they got way too much sympathy from the director. It made me sick. I ended up not liking the movie about 80 percent of the way through. There was way too much emphasis on giving the psychopath a break. In the end, I still give it a 6.7. Almost an average film.
Pure demo of a hardcore sociopath
This documentary is a striking portrayal of a hardcore narcissistic sociopath-covert, manipulative, and hidden behind a convincing mask. The narrative runs smoothly and keeps a tight pace, never dragging on unnecessarily. Still, with such a powerful story at its core, there was potential to go even deeper into the psychology behind the behavior. This docu. Lacks that.
The story is deeply unsettling and carries a haunting weight. The twist arrives with brutal force, reminding viewers just how deceptive appearances can be. For anyone with an interest in psychology, this is a must-watch. It sheds light on the disturbing realities of what some people are truly capable of, even those who may be closest to us.
