Student Services (Mes chères études) review: naked ambition
Well-acted but unsurprising, and far more sad than it is scandalous.

Well-acted but unsurprising, and far more sad than it is scandalous.
My heart is so heavy after this film. So heavy with this film.

Did Neo come to see that the Agents had the right way of things? Did Luke eventually realize that the Empire was a stabilizing force in the galaxy? But poor Melanie is suffering from the ultimate case of Stockholm Syndrome.

Keeps trying to fly off into potentially fascinating directions and then getting yanked back into a mushy mediocrity…
Was this secretly produced by the Institute for Creation Research?
If only movies could be not tossed aside lightly but thrown with great force…
An unnerving and provocative grenade lobbed into the heart of the horror genre…

It is so cute what this flick thinks is “dangerous” and “offensive”!
Fanciful and visually lavish, yet very grounded in human reality.
What’s charming and fun here gets a little overwhelmed by too much grossout stuff.
