Ty Burr Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack) This is one of those deadpan farces where we get to chortle as awful people are hoisted high on the petard of their own greed. Rated: 3/4 May 13, 2022 Full Review Stephen Romei The Australian Hugh Jackman turns in a beguiling and powerful performance in his latest movie, based on a real-life scandal. Rated: 4/5 Jun 12, 2020 Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au Fuelled by a fascinating story and its sensational performances, Bad Education is a movie worthy of its star-power and ambitions. Rated: 3.5/5 May 18, 2020 Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net This is a great film; it will aggravate, amaze, and confound you all at once. Make it a priority to see it the moment it’s out. Rated: 4/5 Jul 8, 2024 Full Review Dave Giannini InSession Film Bad Education is a strong film overall, especially during a time in which we are bereft of theatrical releases and original ideas. Rated: B+ Feb 20, 2024 Full Review Michael Cuby them. Frank Tassone isn’t a likeable character; in fact, he’s rather detestable. But that almost makes me love this film even more. It’s been a long journey towards real queer representation... Sep 28, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Alec C Prepare for some bad education, with some morally corrupt teachers! As a high school superintendent falls under scrutiny for embezzling funds from the budget, a massive cover-up is underway but there are still some co-conspirators hiding in plain sight. Biting humor and impressive acting make this true-crime comedy an enjoyable watch, despite the reprehensible things that the characters do! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Audience Member Great movie, can’t believe that’s all they got for doing such a horrible crime over such a long period of time! Crazy to think what people will do. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review John R Very interesting film, great acting, well worth watching! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/24 Full Review X O Really interesting film. Extremely well directed and acted. Great music. Really well done! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/22/23 Full Review Gareth v Entertaining, funny movie based on a true story. Jackman & Janney are excellent. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/23/23 Full Review Scott M Not a comedy. Hugh Jackman and Janie are exceptional. A bit one dimensional. Without the two lead actors it wouldn't be much of a movie. Dull story. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
