Review of The School for Good and Evil (2022) by Mountiemaniac — 04 Jan 2023

This movie had a massive budget, the effects are good, and the plot had good bones. That's what it had going for it at the onset. In execution though it flops so so so hard. It's biggest problem in my opinion is that it doesn't fully commit to any of the themes it sets up.

"Good people are pretty bad people are ugly", a good idea to show why the pretty people aren't all good and the ugly people aren't all bad. Nope it's ignored unless it's convenient and the bad teacher is the prettiest person there, why isn't she ugly?? That's just one example without a spoiler, there was massive potential here and it was all wasted.
