“Bad Apples” Are the Ones Who Don’t Walk Away From Omelas
Bad Apples is a masterful pitch-black satirical thriller.

Bad Apples is a masterful pitch-black satirical thriller.
The film exhibits a respect for the craft and an empathy for human tribulations that have historically been ignored.
A sweet slice-of-life anime that visualizes all the ways we creatively hide our vulnerabilities from the world.
This feels like the creative team wanted to make a body horror film, but the studio wanted to make another generic blockbuster.
Written and directed by Eva Victor, who also plays Agnes, the main character, Sorry, Baby is slow and artsy, but extremely effective. It shows how the trauma developed after a sexual assault has a ripple effect and loudly echoes in the victim and her life for years after.
A refreshing twist is that all the kids’ powers are…kind of useless. There’s a kid who can only move in slow motion, a kid who has every power in the world but can only use them randomly, and our main character Missy who has no powers at all. The thesis of the film seems to be that it doesn’t matter what kind of powers you have, its the way you use them, which is good for the warm and fuzzies.
