The film is loosely based on a true story and follows two teenage schoolboys who are drawn into a complicated world of online chatrooms, eventually leading to one stabbing the other.
The plot may sound bizarre on paper but thanks to the careful structure and believable acting, it does not produce much awkwardness in the movie. Wearing the "based on a true story" tag also helps. The film is a psychological thriller about two lonely teenage characters. It plays like a mystery case as it keeps you guessing what really happens. As a character study it makes no attempt to pass judgment on the characters, however eccentric or naive they are. It is a more realist than expressionistic approach to the subject matter - youth and loneliness.
Overall, this is a good film that holds your interest and keeps you thinking for a moment afterwards.
