Some people are going to dislike this simply because it doesn’t give you all the answers, or rather, it doesn’t spell the answers out for you. But, knowing all the answers wouldn’t change what the film is really interested in (i.e. social mobility and bias in the American school system) , so I’m perfectly fine with the ambiguity in this case. I think it hints just enough at what happened in order to leave you fulfilled. The acting is also very solid, particularly from the lead guy. However, the pacing could’ve been better, and the storyline with the girlfriend feels like a detractor. 7/10

I believe what separates this movie from other movies (Crash comes to mind) is that it doesn't beat the viewer over the head with a singular issue. It's been a couple of days since I watched the film and I still have it rolling around in my head. I love how I've had to contemplate the events of the movie to even begin to come up with the questions, let alone the possible answers to those questions. Like a good western there were no good characters vs. bad characters. Every action had a context that isn't necessarily readily apparent. This force the viewer to constantly re-assess what they are seeing on the screen. I wish there were more movies like this. If you left this film trying to figure out the ending or wondering why there weren't more answers you completely missed the point. follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies

Ambiguous in its telling but powerfully performed. A good film, even if the resolution is a little hazy.

"It is a film that seems to have a lot to say, but it has no clear idea of how to actually communicate any of its ideas."

Adapted from the play of the same name by J.C. Lee, Luce was written for the screen by Lee and Julius Onah, and directed by Onah. Tackling all manner of hot-button issues, including race, class, gender, pow More

Kelvin Harrison Jnr treads the line between perfect student and perfect demon with some aplomb in this film. Naomi Watts and Tim Roth also provide a credible set of parents facing problems with both their (adopted) son and with their own relationship. Octavia Spencer stands out too - but I have to s More

Tense and keeps you guessing, but somehow the stakes never seem so high as to justify the level of intensity. Great performances, great dialogue, and thought provoking racial commentary make it worth seeing though.
