Stefie, an unremarkable teenage loner, is recruited by Martin, Jean-Sé and Lea to record their daily capers with his cellphone. The four pranksters decide to set up a stunt that go beyond anything they’ve done so far… But this time, who will be the victim? A funny and cruel coming-of-age story about love, friendship, peer pressure and loss of innocence.
Category Breakdown
The film explores adolescent emotional complexity and interpersonal dynamics. However, it lacks explicit evidence of queer identities or specific non-heteronormative character arcs.
Lea is included as part of the central quartet of pranksters. This presence suggests a disruption of traditional gendered social silos within the peer group.
As a Quebecois production, the film carries a specific cultural demographic. The narrative offers a baseline of moderate, realistic inclusion within its contemporary Canadian setting.
The story embraces moral relativism through its 'funny and cruel' thematic framework. It prioritizes the chaotic, subjective experiences of youth over traditional institutional values.
There is no mention of characters navigating physical, sensory, or neurodivergent experiences. No evidence of disability is present in the narrative.

Areas for Improvement
Score Reasoning
Prank offers a gritty, unvarnished look at adolescent realism. It avoids the sanitized, moralistic tropes often found in mainstream coming-of-age cinema, opting instead for a more complex and morally ambiguous portrayal of youth culture. The film succeeds in deconstructing social hierarchies and traditional behavioral norms. By focusing on peer pressure and the loss of innocence, it provides a nuanced view of social transgression. However, the representation remains somewhat limited. The narrative lacks explicit markers of intersectional activism or clear evidence of diverse identities, resulting in a moderate overall score.
