WORTH CONSUMING!

This is a very literate look at what it means to be “educated”. There are moments of subtle conflict between characters but the real question seems to be, should we study to enrich our minds or to pass exams?

You can hear Alan Bennett’s voice in each character to a certain extent which can be jarring falling from the mouth of an eighteen year old boy. What was surprising though, was how well he captured the mindset of a teenager and their concerns.

Beyond all this, it should be stated that this film is very funny indeed.
