Bad Apples
It only takes one
Production
Maria, a primary school teacher, does her best to inspire a class of 10-year-olds, but is unable to because of one unruly and chaotic student. With her career in question and the child’s behavior spiraling, she makes a series of bad decisions that lead to her accidentally taking and locking this “bad apple” in her home. Maria tries desperately to backtrack, but when the class starts flourishing and the staff and parents are thrilled with the improvement, she finds herself in a very complicated predicament.

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/bad-apples-review/
"Bad Apples is a shocking, original satire, carried by Saoirse Ronan in a state of grace and surprising child performances.
Its journey toward the absurd is highly entertaining, but the constant collision between the dramatic weight of the staging and the ridiculousness of the script creates a tonal dissonance that affects its final message and its potential to be one of the most powerful films of the year.
It deserves to be seen, debated, and perhaps, to make us question what, after all, a "bad apple" in life truly is."
