If I could explain why it hits as deep as it hits then I wouldn’t be human. But I can try. Maybe the hurt is in me; maybe it’s in the film. But the cut is deeper and it calls out to something that cannot help but respond. Maybe it’s all because I am the literal age of these kids. I was also 14-15 in 1999-2001. I have many shared experiences. I can relate to the bullying, the safe haven…
