Bad Genius

About This Movie

Bad Genius is this sharp blend of comedy and drama, really. It dives into the pressures of academic excellence, but with a twist. Lynn, the main character, is super smart and starts off helping her friends with some exam cheats. Then it ramps up, and she creates this whole business around it, which adds a layer of suspense. The pacing feels tight, keeping you engaged, especially with the clever setups for the cheating schemes. The performances are strong, especially from the lead, who captures that mix of ambition and desperation. There's a certain energy to the cinematography, too, that complements the themes of morality and ambition. It’s not your typical teen flick for sure.
