Featured review
Very Well Done.
This is a complicated movie, because you're not always sure you SHOULD be rooting for the main characters.
The film is about the apparently true story (I never heard about it) of how a teacher encouraged his students to cheat on an academic decathalon. The story was well told, but you're never really made to feel pity towards the characters. The story is told fairly and not just to be entertaining. I suppose it's a morality tale to a certain extent. But, be warned, there is a fair amount of foul language, more than I expected.
Still, a great and well done movie, and I feel will please those who are curious.
