Ah the perks of having a husband in their film department! In any case, this is one of the smartest and funniest movies of the year. It's basically a hard-boiled noir thriller with lots of Dashiell Hammettish dialogue, but transferred to a high school setting. And it works seamlessly. The scene between our hero and the Assistant Principal plays out like a private detective getting hauled in to see a police commissioner. In any case, I'm so glad you mentioned it. It's the best film I've seen this year.fusenumber8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16216979020263363698noreply@blogger.com
