A high-school teacher assigned the thankless task of teaching autocracy as part of the school's project week decides to spice up his lessons by conducting a decidedly unorthodox experiment in this adaptation of the popular novel by Todd Strasser. Though his students are initially apathetic about teh prospect of being schooled in the evils of fascism yet again, the lesson soon takes an unexpected turn of events that no one in the classroom could have seen coming.

"Seductive and horrifying at the same time...The film opens with a rush of energy and doesn't let up." | POS |

"A fist-pumping political allegory delivered with more conviction than subtlety." | NEU |
United Kingdom |

"A prime example of the kind of film dead set on telling you what you know already. (...) it is fantastically shallow, fatuous, naive and obtuse (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)" | NEG |

"An arresting idea for a movie, it’s a bit of a shame it’s not terribly believable (...) Still (...) an undeniable willingness to engage with a youthful audience is admirably inclusive." | NEU |
