Pretty Persuasion

 

USA 2005, 110 minutes
Dir. Marcos Siega
Genres: Comedy / Black Comedy

Topics: Problem Child.

 

Aroview: A malicious student (Evan Rachel Wood) connives with her cowed classmates to lay a false claim of sexual harrassment against a drama teacher (Livingston), so as to gain some TV celebrity for a hoped-for film career.

Resembling the work of Todd Solondz (HAPPINESS) in its 'everyone is guilty' misanthropy, this is carried by a clutch of highly compelling performances, particularly James Wood, as a crassly racist Bel Air millionaire. Although finally too timid to be a truly satirical gem, one can't help but be impressed by the fearless taboo-breaking.
