3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Apt Pupil’: 1. It’s difficult to enjoy a movie when the lead characters are extraordinarily unlikeable. 2. This is one of those films that inspire the oh-so-unfortunate post-screening thought: what was the point? Renfro’s character didn’t evolve into anything new. He was loony from the start. No journey there. I didn’t find their “outsmarting each other” relationship very compelling. I didn’t feel any stakes. I didn’t care about his grades. The girlfriend, the best friend... both basically filler. It just all felt a bit long and disconnected. 3. This probably works better as the novella it was intended to be, or even a single Twilight Zone episode.
