Review of Bad Education

Bad Education (2022)
8/10
A terrific debut, let down by a confused tone.

Warning: Spoilers
Like a strange child of Au Revoir Taipei and Mon Mon Mon Monsters, this is a typical Giddens tale of friendship and situations getting totally out of control. Great performances, particularly from Kent Tsai and Leon Dai. It's a fast paced tale of one very eventful night... but it never really decides what tone or genre it's aiming for. Is this a highly disturbing thriller or a wacky comedy? Is a sexual assault really getting played for laughs here?

Overall, it tends to work quite well, it's just that there's a few too many instances of the film stepping out of its genre for no apparent reason, other than a cheap and questionable gag.
