Larong Bata is a raw, unfiltered take on the struggles of adolescence, diving deep into the dark side of school life. The film focuses on Marlon, an academically gifted but socially isolated student, whose vulnerabilities make him a target for relentless bullying. His plight is further compounded by the cruel twist of cyberbullying, captured through the lens of a cellphone. Then there's Dessa, a 16-year-old grappling with her traumatic past, finding herself caught in a cycle of peer torment. The tone is heavy, the pacing deliberate, allowing the weight of each scene to settle. Performances feel genuine, almost too real at times, creating an atmosphere thick with discomfort. It’s this unvarnished portrayal of youth that sets Larong Bata apart, making it a noteworthy entry in the genre of dramatic narratives about school life.
