The CinePearl Take
Dowling’s direction keeps the story brisk, never allowing the moral chaos to linger too long before snapping back into a new, sharper conflict. The ensemble—led by a breakout performance from newcomer Maya Torres as the cynical yet vulnerable guidance counselor—delivers dialogue that crackles with wit. While the pacing occasionally lurches under the weight of its own cleverness, the film’s central theme—how good intentions can become dangerous weapons—remains compelling throughout.
