System Crasher

AroView: The formidable feature debut of Nora Fingscheidt (The Outrun) about a nine-year-old girl whose diabolical behaviour overwhelms conventional support services, and so she is placed in the hands of an anger management specialist used to dealing with tough guys.

The child performance of Helena Zengel is nothing short of staggering, and while the film is not for the faint of heart, it offers a knockout for those willing to go toe-to-toe with its bravery and intelligence.

“This is a wildly impressive first narrative feature, powered along by a strong cast, great chemistry, virtuoso flourishes, and fierce energy.” ~Tara Brady, The Irish Times

“System Crasher is the outstanding feature film debut of German director Nora Fingscheidt. A tremendous slice of life filled with light and energy, which doesn’t shy away from the tough realities of what social care is like for children with severe developmental issues.” ~Tom Duggins, CineVue
