• Stunning film full of twists and turns

  Emilia Schüle is mesmerizing as Lena in this cyberbullying thriller currently available on Amazon Prime. There's betrayal all around - friends and parents consistently disappoint Lena and those around her, and there are casualties. I was expecting a Lifetime Network-quality story, full of clichés and hipsterspeak, but this film seems real and relevant, and has so many twists and turns that it's almost difficult to keep track of them. There are some holes in the story, but you can probably fill them in yourself. This film is definitely worth a watch... I wonder if Hollywood will come up with an English language remake. Lena Love is that good.

  The movie depicts something that is kind of the worst of what can happen, when a bully goes all out with social media and everything that is around to be (ab)used! And of course this being a movie it is heightened, even though some of the things feel very real (and probably have happened to a degree) and might still happen. So while I'm not sure if this will sway those who thought about doing similar things to others, this still can be viewed as a warning in general. The movie in general is really well made, even though it has some cliches and some predictabilities that some won't like. Acting isn't the best it could be either, but overall it's more than decent
