FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/bad-apples-review/ "Bad Apples is a shocking, original satire, carried by Saoirse Ronan in a state of grace and surprising child performances. Its journey toward the absurd is highly entertaining, but the constant collision between the dramatic weight of the staging and the ridiculousness of the script creates a tonal dissonance that affects its final message and its potential to be one of the most powerful films of the year. It deserves to be seen, debated, and perhaps, to make us question what, after all, a "bad apple" in life truly is." Rating: B
