Intriguing start - packs in too much plot - Bad Education review by AER

Spoiler Alert
25/01/2024

Bad Educacion begins well with an intriguing premise but it loses its emotional gumption with some cinematic tricks that distract rather than assist the story. As usual Almodavor packs in so much plot, but for me this one had one silly twist too many and by the last twenty minutes, I'd lost patience with the double-crosses. Gael Garcia Bernal is interesting casting as a beautiful transvestite performer. Still, sadly he's reduced to a cipher to keep the dizzy plot running as opposed to an interesting and complex character. It had a simple story but it was somehow made overcomplicated by the multiple stories within stories and competing versions of the truth with different actors inside. Sadly this is a misfire for Almodavor.

Too busy.
