Filmed with a non-professional teenage cast and inspired by the Columbine tragedy, the debut feature from writer-director Raag proves to be well developed and provocative. Though reminiscent of Gus Van Sant's ELEPHANT, THE CLASS differs in its lack of sociological probing and in its reflection on the universal darker side of the human soul, often hidden beneath an attractive exterior, which is ready to react under excess pressure.
