Description

Luce is a smart psychological thriller that will leave audiences breathless. An all-star high school athlete and accomplished debater, Luce (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) is a poster boy for the new American Dream - as are his parents (Naomi Watts and Tim Roth), who adopted him from a war-torn country a decade earlier. When Luce's teacher (Octavia Spencer) makes a shocking discovery in his locker, Luce's stellar reputation is called into question. But is he really at fault, or is Ms. Wilson preying on dangerous stereotypes? Stacked with amazing performances, and adapted from JC Lee's acclaimed play, director Julius Onah has created an intense, multi-layered and deeply entertaining look at identity in today's America.

    I think the director wanted to try and make Luce look like the protagonist right from the start especially cause he’s the main character.. but it didn’t work. I’ll give a thumbs up for Octavius though obviously she’s great in any movie.

    Not a typical Hollywood film - in a good way. Wonderful Octavia Spencer as usual, too
  • Well

    It tried to ‘get there’. I felt I’d wasted my time after I’d ended it. But then in retrospect I think it’s a good movie. It’s very truthful ~

    It seems like the ending of this movie is missing. You know, the part where all threads you've just spent the last hour and a half following _should_ end up somewhere. You know, the what, how and why's of a thriller. This is not a thriller, but more like an unsatisfying, pointless drama.
  • The Jury Box

    By Veteran Sci Fi
    This movie puts the viewer in a small jury box, and it only gives circumstantial evidence of wrongdoing but no real motive, and no character insights; the movie doesn’t and probably can’t penetrate the “luminous” veneer of the titular character, and so it leaves you in the middle of a contrived choice. The choice “whose side are you on?” is a set-up, prompting the viewer to fall for it. Some of the scenes are great, but they don’t carry the movie, and the circumstantial contrivance is truly annoying.

    A movie about a teenager doing anything to prevent a s-x assault from coming to light. American psycho meets Steubenville High school , that’s Luce.
