Tuition

About This Movie

Tuition (2021) dives deep into the murky waters of authority and the fine line between discipline and outright abuse. The narrative follows 13-year-old Alan, who finds himself in a class led by the increasingly aggressive Beatrice. You can really feel the tension build as her methods escalate, creating this suffocating atmosphere that’s hard to shake off. Alan's attempts to document her behavior add this layer of desperation—like you’re right there with him, hoping for something to change. The pacing feels almost claustrophobic, mirroring Alan's growing sense of entrapment. Performances, especially from the lead, are raw and unsettling, effectively drawing you into this dark corner of educational systems. It’s a gritty exploration of power dynamics that lingers long after the credits roll.
