Almodovar has to be one of the best directors at reproducing the anxiety of an identity crisis onto the screen. This movie was more on the “uglier” side of his filmography, in the vibes of “what have i done to deserve this”. it made me feel uneasy as i finished it, and like i needed a breather. the meta storytelling is a really great concept and gael garcia bernal is incredible.

Almodóvar makes one about gay men.

To be completely honest, I don't have the slightest idea as to what to think about Bad Education. It's a rather complex story, told from multiple perspectives that at the end create a picture that nobody would've expected at first. There's this constant weird feeling of a piece of the story missing, which sought for a lot of attention throughout the entire film- I can't really remember the last time a film that's neither thrilling, nor forcefully attention-seeking has actually caught my attention for such a long period of time. All in all, Bad Education really is a film worth watching, with some almost flawless acting, a great and complex plot and told in a fantastic way that just left me rather out of words while typing this comment. Great work!
