Featured reviews
Ancient history repeats itself in the modern college campus.Stanley Tucci does a good job of acting.
Never heard of this one before and thought I would give it a try. Not exactly what I expected and ending was predictable. Wouldn't say I am in a hurry to rewatch it but it wasn't terrible either.
Despite strong performances and good direction this film fizzles out and leaves you disappointed with too many unanswered questions.
1. The portrayal of the post secondary "academic community" (in quotes for a reason) was so stereotypically artificial from the parties to the discourse to the mannerisms that it provoked me to write this wearing tweed; smoking a pipe & drinking from my Bordeaux glass or is it a Burgundy glass?
2. The abrasive part of the teaching style was simply made up as were the constant "air quotes".
3. Some viewers condemned the prof for taking advantage - get human & real!
4. The family turmoil from an affair, and the spurious academic committee review seemed too "made-up".
5. Ending had a cheap cute cleverness that fit w/the rest of the movie.
A situation quite similar to real life situations.
Her word is always powerful against his word combined with her crocodile tears. Dudes, always record interactions with a female during courtship or dating or even one night stands, or you'll be in a vulnerable situation where society is ready to crucify you.
