Sirenas

Having had a brief experience with bullying and the street life, this is a pretty straightforward depiction of two people from two different walks of life finding a bond. Also having seen many variations of series and movies that revolve around bullying, this one is relatively watered-down. Maybe it has something to do with censorship or maybe it would just require a lot more episodes to really dive into the different perspectives of all the individuals at play from the parents to the teachers to the various backstories of the bully and her followers. But for those who haven't experienced much outside of their standard environment, this would be a good and to-the-point type of story.

It is disturbing of course how just recently in 2025, the bullies of a 14-year old in Sichuan Province, China in real-time seemed to have taken pointers from the ones in this movie. Despite the efforts of what the movie was trying to portray, the resulting punishments were just as minimal.
