So I think, \u201cI wish I could have been assigned to this Arlington city High School.\u201d  Then my envy of the place gives way when I find out that this school may be in prosperous Arlington but it could in no way deserve real estate in Shangri-La.  Things are happening therein that would threaten a parent\u2019s trust of her son, a teacher\u2019s dedication to her students, and would start warfare enveloping teacher vs. principal, mother vs. father, student vs. teacher, and would involve questions of race and class.  That Julius Onah, who adapted the movie from a play by JC Lee featured in New York\u2019s Lincoln Center leaves ambiguity not only in the ending but throughout the proceedings is a good thing.  In fact without the ambiguity\u2019s causing us in the audience to pause and think deeply about the film, we would be shut off from any thought of discussion save for \u201cWhere should we go now for our frappuccino?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLuce,\u201d which is the name of the principal character played by Kelvin Harrison Jr., means \u201clight\u201d and light indeed brightens the upper-middle-class home of Amy Edgar (Naomi Watts) and her husband Peter (Tim Roth).  Unable to have children of their own, they seek out a potential adoptee from the most troubled place imaginable, a seven-year-old who has already been tormented more than almost any American adult by growing up in war-torn Eritrea.  With a back-story that involves years of psychological help and any other form a rescue that his adoptive parents have tried, Luce attends a school that gives his room to develop and express his natural talents and is lucky\u2014or maybe not&#8211;to have as his history and government teacher Harriet Wilson (Octavia Spencer), who pushes those in her charge so strictly that she has been called a bitch.  For reasons that a movie audience will find ambiguous, she snoops into Luce\u2019s locker, finding illegal fireworks among the notebooks, confiscates them, and, instead of telling Prinicpal Towson (Norbert Leo Butz) calls in Luce\u2019s parents.  To add to her suspicions, Harriet has graded the student\u2019s essay on the subject, name a historical figure  and write a paper on how you would act in his place.  Luce uses the example of Frantz Fanon, whose \u201cWretched of the Earth\u201d advises violence to get overthrow colonialists.  Luce is virtually labeled a terrorist, and when in addition, Harriet hears a rumor that Luce is involved in the rape of Stephanie Kim (Andrea Bang), the stage is set for verbal, and later physical warfare, involving students, teacher, principal and parents.<\/p>\n<p>What motivates Harriet to go after this one student, a young fellow who excels in debate, track, and can hold an audience of parents in thrall when addressing them in the auditorium?  We in the audience are left with an unspoken motif that Harriet, who is on the one hand demanding outstanding work especially for marginalized teenagers, is envious of Luce\u2019s parents, who appear to be upper middle class, who presumably did not have the stresses affecting Harriet, who has lived with her emotionally disturbed sister Rosemarie (Marsha Stephanie Blake).  In fact in the film\u2019s most energetic scene the entire school must cope with Rosemarie\u2019s psychotic break as she goes ballistic, removes all of her clothes, and is carted away by the police.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Roth and Naomi Watts play parents who must have had to cope with the frustrations and joys of bringing up a child with a damaged psyche, their most compelling scene involving an argument about how to deal with accusations that their young man has committed an act of minor terrorism.  Should he be exposed for what he may be\u2014the emphasis on may be\u2014or should they lie and give him an alibi that would counter charges against him?  Still, the film belongs to Harrison, who has appeared in films and TV since  his minor role in 2013 in \u201c12 Years a Slave,\u201d but who, at the actual age of twenty-five is too old to convince us that he is a student in high school rather than going for a graduate degree.   <\/p>\n<p>Nigerian-born director Jonah Onah, whose \u201cThe Cloverfield Paradox\u201d finds scientists testing a device to solve the energy crisis, moves ahead with this intellectually challenging and emotionally gripping tale with metaphoric possibilities that feed into the current sophomoric racism of our president, who does not have a racist bone in his body.<\/p>\n<p>109 minutes.  \u00a9 2019 by Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/p>\n<p>Story \u2013 B+<br \/>\nActing \u2013 A-<br \/>\nTechnical \u2013 B<br \/>\nOverall \u2013 B+<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LUCE Neon\/Topic Reviewed for Shockya.com &#038;
