"Bad Education": Movie Review
With blazing speed and an eye for the absolute truth, "Bad Education" nails every bit of its true to life story. A steady stream of intelligent insight into the corruption of the public school systems, along with Hugh Jackman's Oscar-worthy performance and brilliant execution by director Cory Finley, sets this dramedy at the upper echelon of films in 2020.
A popular superintendent, Frank Tassone (Jackman), entangles himself in one of the most notorious public school scandals in modern history.
Finley's artistic development, including Michael Abels ("Get Out", "Us") swell of classical music, is utilized with an unadulterated dread. Catching the utter essence of Tassone seems like an impossible task, but a career-best performance by Jackman defies the limits of what actors can achieve.
To pass "Bad Education" up as a passable comedy is an insult. Enthralling, captivating, and completely off the wall, it's a film not to be messed with. 2020 has just been put in another gear.
