| | A Bloody Aria (2006) Movie Review | BeyondHollywood.com | Asian, Foreign, Horror, and Genre Movie Reviews and News |
 | | The film is chiefly concerned with themes of bullying, which it actually deals with in quite a subtle manner and on several levels, dealing with both the aggressors and victims in a fluid way which eschews stereotyping or easy answers. |
 | | Although never bloody or explicit, the film is sadistic, intense and visceral, especially towards the end, and there is an air of threat throughout, with the viewer constantly expecting outbursts of violence. |
 | | At times the film does feel rather like a play, given its small cast of characters and limited locations, though this certainly works in its favour, as the minimalist approach allows the director to focus in truly discomforting fashion, never giving the viewer a moment of respite from the increasingly unpleasant events. |
