IQ: A History of Deceit is a fascinating exploration of how a seemingly straightforward educational tool got twisted into a means for eugenics. The film navigates the murky waters of its origin, focusing on Binet's initial intentions versus what the tests became. There's an almost haunting atmosphere as it dives into the socio-political landscape of the time, making you question the moral implications of intelligence testing. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to absorb the dense themes, and the interviews sprinkled throughout add depth, even if the director remains in the shadows. It’s this nuanced approach that makes it stand out, providing a critical lens on a topic that’s still so relevant today.
