'Ben X' a vivid film about bullying

Jam! has posted a review of the Belgian film 'Ben X'. Directed by Nic Balthazar, the film centers around a young man with Asperger's Syndrome, who plays video games to escape his reality. As the horror of being a daily subject to bullying grows, Ben devises a plan. Then Scarlite comes into his life, the girl he has met in his on-line game. Greg Timmermans, who plays Ben, receives a glowing review.

"Timmermans does a terrific job in the lead. With his wide, soulful eyes, he underplays as the role requires, punctuated by spurts of manic energy. In a scene of public sexual humiliation that sets the plot rolling -- a trauma delivered by video to the 'Net -- he seems so disconnected as to be having an out-of-body experience."
