Acceptable Damage

The cast and cinematography are great in this indie UK anti-bullying drama. More people need to be made aware of these issues. Soundtrack is top-notch too.

A very organic film that showcases courage and and the heroes within us all as we learn to embrace and fight for who we are and what it means to be different and misunderstood. Very well put together and compelling.

Katy is played beautifully and really wins our heart, her relationships with her mother and her 'friend' are both beautifully captured. It's counterbalanced with relationships that show the cycle of bullying and abuse; the bullied becomes the bully, the girl used as a plaything become abusers too... The story is powerful, poignant and heartbreaking, complex relationships beautifully layered. It's not a fast paced film, it slowly works toward a shocking climax and lingers on well after the film is over.

A powerful film, broaching difficult territory. No doubt some considerable bravery was required from the production team and actors alike to undertake this. I thought there were some touching moments, and I liked it a lot.

What a powerful film! Acceptable Damage deals with big questions about society and isn't afraid to show the complexity of a situation, particularly when looking at the background of the character Rabbit. Very moving and very funny at times too - I went through a full range of emotions while watching this.

Acceptable Damage is a drama that is full of heart. The characters are realistic and believable, which is a credit to the actors involved. The performance of the lead actress who portrays an Asperger's sufferer is especially poignant. The story deals with important issues such as bullying, delinquency and mental health in a non-condescending manor. The writing, cinematography and direction is exceptional.

Terribly written and so slow it actually made 2 people fall asleep. I get what they were going for but they really missed the mark. It was a pretty annoying movie. The writing sucks, the acting sucks, the directing sucks. Do you get the idea that this entire ting sucks? When you see people leave mid way its a terrible sign
