Bad Apples may have fallen under the radar after its TIFF debut, but the new dark comedy movie finally has a global release date.
The Saoirse Ronan led movie will be in UK and US theaters from September 18, and we’ve got a brand new trailer to celebrate the new movie’s theatrical release thanks to Paramount Pictures.
Bad Apples follows Maria, a teacher who becomes frustrated when her class of ten year olds is disrupted by one unruly pupil, Danny (Eddie Waller). When Maria accidentally kidnaps Danny and holds him hostage in her house, it sets off an unexpected chain of events.
This is the kind of movie that reels me in instantly. We’ve got a seemingly ordinary main character in the form of a schoolteacher, who then goes on to make very questionable characters.
The plot of Bad Apples teases that Maria sees her class performance improve once Danny is “missing”, which gives her a moral dilemma. Should she release him or keep him held in her home, where he’s not disrupting the rest of her class?
Bad Apples is based on the novel De Oönskade (The Unwanted) by Swedish author Rasmus Andersson, which is described as a satirical thriller. So I’m expecting a lot of timely commentary in this movie, which will soon be widely available in theaters.
