Spectacular soundtrack with somewhat disheartening plot

Appreciated the melancholic tone and seclusion shots of boys wandering around open grass fields. The soundtrack is fantastic (unfortunately only on youtube music). The film explores potential catalysts for bullying and early social media through the evolution of two troubled adolescent boys. The internet is an escape from their otherwise grim life but ultimately fails as a coping mechanism. Lily Chou Chou was a depressing watch but I find myself ruminating on certain scenes, despite only watching it once.

A big portion of the movie revolves around chat room messaging. People with epilepsy beware frequent flashing of text on screen. Runtime too long - had to watch in two sittings.
