“Queasily tense and unpredictable, with a whiff of real danger” - Guy Lodge, Variety
Opens September 18 | Jonatan Etzler’s English-language debut is a darkly provocative black comedy about control and revenge. Saoirse Ronan stars as an idealistic teacher Maria who takes extreme measures with her disruptive student, Danny. Locked in a cycle of escalating conflict, the dynamics between teacher and student deteriorate precipitously and Maria makes a truly unhinged choice. Based on Rasmus Lindgren's debut novel De Oönskade, BAD APPLES is a tale with a surprisingly subversive mean streak.
