Dennis Harvey Variety Movies with a novel mix of thematic elements are generally to be applauded, but not if they fail to gel. Sep 5, 2018 Full Review Nick Allen RogerEbert.com A very odd movie. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 31, 2018 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times An uncompromising coming-of-age psychodrama masquerading as gothic horror. Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Andrew Wyatt The Lens Boarding School often feels as if it's trying to cram too many concepts into a narrative container that is too conventional and constrictive to accommodate them all. Rated: C+ Dec 7, 2018 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue More predictable than compelling, this psychological thriller nevertheless contains some inspired and even thoughtful moments amid the familiarity. Sep 7, 2018 Full Review Stephanie Archer Film Inquiry Boarding School is not without its flaws, but its meanings and representations dive deeper than the typical thrillers that have come before it.

Audience Member A fairly engaging movie from beginning to end. The performance and execution was all well done. The only thing that was slightly frustrating were the intermittent scenes with the SS officer, as there was nothing to clarify the relevance or what those scenes were supposed to mean in the context of the rest of the movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/22/23 Full Review Audience Member So much I liked with this WTH messed up movie. Loved it! Too many good spoilers to avoid,just watch it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Really enjoyed this film. Great acting. I think it may be too deep for some to fully understand but I thought it was a fresh horror film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Exceptional acting, unique plot, sinister story, beautiful sets/ location and fascinating ending. This isn't "horror" in a traditional sense of ghosts and monsters. If anything it's worse, the horror that humans are capable of unimaginable evil. Keeping the viewer grounded in more of a realistic way than anything supernatural. It's easy to dismiss ghosts and monsters, but no one can ignore the atrocities of man. For me, that's more frightening than a vampire or ghost. If you're looking for a movie you don't need to think about or pay attention to, move along. Since it's really not like anything I've seen it's hard to tell where it's going, what's happening or what the outcome will be. Therefore people who just want to zone out and be startled here and there, it probably won't be entertaining. But if you are the type of person who enjoys a story you need to listen and pay attention to; a story you really need to think about, leaving you wondering and yearning to know more, this is for you. I can't wait to see these exceptional child actors in more films Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A deliciously weird movie with some outstanding performances by the child actors. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Horrible and Deeeeeeeeeep. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
