  Watched this with friends over facetime and said “Oh man, I live for this shit” out loud several times. Probably because I’m drunk. But hey- I live for this shit!!

  Love a crime drama, especially when it’s in a school location. This shit is Wolf of Wall Street without any of the glamour. I also loooove the way this movie is shot. And absolutely love Allison Janney, and Geraldine Viswanathan, and Rafael Casal, and Alex Wolff- and TRULY LOVE my boy Hugh Jackman. God I love Hugh Jackman!!! I’m a Huge Jack-fan!!! Aaaand post review!!

  Cory Finley is Yorgos Lanthimos in day mode and that’s a great thing. After Thoroughbreds I was anticipating what he’d do next and this makes me super excited for the NEXT thing he does. His tone is starting to form a voice of it's own in Bad Education, balancing crime and humor in a way that never gives you a moment to breathe. 

  The specific shade of blue in practically every shot of this film gives off a specific feeling of prestige that, when mixed with the meticulous framing, brings in that teaspoon of underlying guilt. As though things are almost too perfect. Also fantastic performances from everyone involved, Hugh Jackman clearly being a standout. Couldn’t post this review without mentioning that.

  Don’t get me wrong, Onward being at the top of my 2020 list wasn’t a bad thing, but it feels good to have a favorite movie of the year that I actually feel good about recommending to people.

  One of the more beautiful things about being an American is that it’s easy to justify your own success — at least to yourself. This is the land of opportunity, and people are taught from an early age that they get what they deserve, and they deserve what they get; if they weren’t, the injustice of it all might spoil the fun. You don’t necessarily have to earn your good fortune, you just have to believe you’re entitled to it. Needless to say, we are up to that challenge! And we’ll do whatever it takes to keep everything in its right place.

  With that in mind, it’s strange that, as Americans, we still tell ourselves that corruption is usually a…

  There's nothing useless in this film, each thing in its place is best, and what seems but idle show, strengthens and supports the rest.
  I love love loved this movie.

  Second viewing. What struck me this time is how much sympathy the film extends toward the administrators who embezzled millions from the Roslyn school district. Key theme here is the corruptibility of adulthood, that slippery slope of compromising here and there until you’re all the way gone.
