Bad Apples

<div>Maria, played by the incandescent star of <i>Lady Bird</i>,&nbsp;<i>Little Women</i>, and <i>The Outrun,&nbsp;</i>Saoirse Ronan, is a primary school teacher at a ritzy private school doing her best to inspire a class of 11-year-olds, whose class is plagued by the epic bad behaviour of one extremely foul mouthed and disruptive child, Danny. After he has a violent altercation with another student, Maria is forced to take action. And when Danny doesn’t show up for the next few days, she is shocked at how easily the parents accept his absence — and don't want him back. As things spiral even further out of control, Maria is caught between her own bad choices, the utter lack of concern from her community, and the less-than-angelic behaviour of her other students.</div><div><br></div><div>Swedish-born Etzler — abetted by a stellar cast, led by the fearless Ronan — fuses caustic Nordic humour with genre elements, asking questions, both timeless and timely, and always discomfiting. Just how far (or low) will we go to preserve harmony, and how quickly can our core values be abandoned? Premiering at <i>Toronto International Film Festival</i> to rave reviews, this audacious and timely film questions the depth of our commitment to widely accepted beliefs.</div>ComedyPT1H37MMA15+GBen
