"Bad Genius" (2017). Capsule review.

The best heist movie that you will see this year was not directed by Soderbergh and has nothing to do with car races, jewels or banks. Thai director Nattawut Poonpiriya has created a spellbinding tale of deception, high stakes, and social class commentary in a movie about high school students and tests for acceptance into universities. A good fictional companion to the superb Korean documentary "Reach for the SKY" (2015). If only we did not know that meritocracy is a lie.
"Bad Genius", watch it however you can.
