System Crasher (2019) review

Eyebrow-less nine-year-old Benni (Helena Zengel) is worse than just a 'problem child,' she's a screaming, aggressive, impulsive nightmare - her mother can't keep her under control, she keeps getting kicked out of group homes - but when Micha (Albrecht Schuch), an 'anti-violence' trainer, meets her, he's convinced he can help 'cure' her.  I hate to bring out my 'credentials' again, but in my years in education I have met individuals like Benni - in fact, I almost got stabbed with a pair of scissors by one (it's a long story) - and the script's 'choices' are wildly out-of-touch: it thinks having a little girl go out in the woods with an adult male is a 'good move' and then, later on, after Benni bashes a little boy's head into the ice (almost killing him), the next scene is of her receiving a gift and having a birthday party (as if nothing happened).  The reality is that she isn't a 'free spirit,' but actually a dangerous individual with very severe mental illness who needs to be admitted to a mental institution, not flown to Africa (the movie views her mother as a villain but I understand her position).  Fingscheidt's final shot, of Benni running away once again, wants to celebrate her as 'full of vivacity,' but you know she'll end up sedated sooner rather than later.
