The Student is a mix of more than its genre and the subpar, though it engages enough.
The opening sequence awful, Valentine disgusted by Ned, he follows her and now she's somehow interested. Sophie Marceau, a rare beauty and the reason we're even watching the film, would be someone who'd be approached daily and it doesn't even show him leaving a positive impression. Then the bumbling stalker after somehow getting on a date with her, tells her he's a musician to her pleasant surprise... That's some bad writing in my book. Then she puts her important papers down at his place and leaves them, they'll obviously be forgotten. The band performance scenes don't look the slightest bit believable, with the audience jumping around to nothing. Valentine's over-the-top fickle, to the point there's no chance they're together, but there they are.
