A system crasher is a child so uncontrollable and aggressive that, over time, she falls through the grid of special schools, foster care, and social work facilities. Benni is a so-called “Systemsprenger” (which is the original German title). In this incredible German drama, child actor Helena Zengel plays Bernadette aka Benni, a traumatized 9-year-old child who tends to lash out and has been repeatedly suspended from every school she went to. While quite testing for viewers, this is one of the craziest, most high-energy movies you’ll ever watch.
