About this movie

Luce is a smart psychological thriller that will leave audiences breathless. An all-star high school athlete and accomplished debater, Luce (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) is a poster boy for the new American Dream. As are his parents (Naomi Watts and Tim Roth), who adopted him from a war-torn country a decade earlier. When Luce's teacher (Octavia Spencer) makes a shocking discovery in his locker, Luce's stellar reputation is called into question. But is he really at fault, or is Ms. Wilson preying on dangerous stereotypes? Stacked with amazing performances and adapted from JC Lee's acclaimed play, director Julius Onah has created an intense, multi-layered and deeply entertaining look at identity in today's America.

Ratings and reviews

Was very hard to engage in this story despite the best efforts of these good actors. Unfortunately, we found this oddly preachy movie very boring with little to take away.

Pretty dogshite. Nice idea but full of holes. Swiss cheese like holes. If the kid was lying or not lying the message given isn't very good!

I thought this movie was great. It was a bit boring in bits but the story line was interesting enough to find out what happens.
