Although I found this movie entertaining, it was a little too "on-the-nose" for me.Justing Lebrun plays a verbally abusive, sexist, racist CEO who has been molded by his father.
A Lesson In Cruelty is a bold indie satire. It's one of those comedies that really goes for it where performances are intentionally big and over-the-top, and that's where the laughs come from.
Such a fun indie film! I enjoyed the fact that they pressed the boundaries (this is one reason why I enjoy watching indie films so much).
This comedy had me laughing frequently. Never before have I seen a character so over-the-top selfish, egotistical, greedy, misogynist, racist, etc that I found myself amused with the extreme things he would say/do.
I enjoyed watching a lesson in cruelty. Director Alex Salazar did a good job directing his actors and crew to deliver some great performaces.
This is rubbish! I can't believe anyone would rate that any higher even if they were blind and deaf!
I am all for satirical, dark humour and a character being ironically funny because they are just genuinely an awful human being. Michael Scott (Steve Carell) in The Office (US) is a perfect example of being arrogant but done in such an endearing way that it is hilarious.
Ever had been fed up with your boss? Ever talked to your workmates about what a jerk your boss was and felt like you were trapped?
Have you ever had a terrible boss? What kind of lesson would you teach him or her?
