DIFF 2010 - Confessions

Very layered, extremely complex story of todays youth, the dilemmas they deal with and an extremely glirified, almost over-the-top action-reaction drama. Quite explicit and gory this superbly tight screenplay pulls you back and forth between evil and human, till a point that you are not left in a position to be judgemental anymore.

The beauty of this story and screenplay is that it breaks the prejudices of good and bad, everything is dark and all emotions are human, starkly against the context which is 'school-going children'. One develops a level of frustration simply because the perception of a child's innocence is brutally chopped off and the volatile aspect of adoloscence exemplified. A tad-bit long at the end, but a very complex watch of the play between the confessions of 3 people (teacher and 2 students) involved in a single incident, the killing of the teachers daughter. All three justify their moves and take us through their individual journeys to the reasoning for the incident, eventually leaving us in a limbo for right and wrong.
