This was a very well made, realistic & thought provoking film; right until the end. Jessica waking and Aviary being sorry for all that she had done was completely unrealistic. Narcissistic bullies like Aviary don't feel sorry for the pain they cause others. I know, I've been on the receiving end of it and they just grow up to be narcissistic bullying adults.
Unfortunately the reality of it is, the bullying continues, people kill themselves because of it and they don't have a miraculous recovery with their bully suddenly seeing the light. The just don't. The ending of this film gives false hope to those going through this and fuel to the bully's fire.
Its not that I wanted a depressing or sad ending, I just wanted a realistic one which fitted with the rest of the film, not a 'Hollywood Happy' one.
And to anyone being bullied out there. Keep at it. Keep going. You WILL get through it, believe me; I've been there. The best way to get back at them is let them see you NOT reacting. Don't let them see that they are getting to you, no matter how hard it might be. You can do it and you will go on to be an amazing person because of it.
