If I'd only cared

About This Movie

If I'd Only Cared is a raw and gritty exploration of the dynamics of bullying from the perspective of its young protagonists. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating, underscoring the tension felt by Sebastian, who endures relentless torment at school. David's reluctance to reach out adds another layer of complexity, capturing the hesitance many feel in similar situations. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to marinate in the characters' emotions, which feels authentic. There's no flashy cinematography or effects, instead, the focus is squarely on the performances, which feel genuine and relatable. It’s not polished, but that’s part of its charm—an unfiltered look into the world of adolescence and the often invisible scars of bullying.
