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!!

out of all the movies about being gay and doing crime titled Bad Education, this one’s second best!

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.

this one goes out for every gay student who found their teacher hot

Such a thrill when a movie weaponizes Hugh Jackman's showmanship

can we all agree that films set in the early 2000s are period pieces now

I believe in be gay do crime films supremacy

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.

“it’s only a puff piece if you let it be a puff piece”

thoroughbreds is still one of my favorite movies of the 2010’s so i’m elated that this delivered

did hugh jackman learn nothing after his whole life crumbled just from stealing a loaf of bread..?
