Leave your thoughts about A Lesson in Cruelty.
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshA Lesson in Cruelty tries to affect a dark comedic tone, but fails spectacularly. There's no comedy, despite Lebrun's over-the-top vamping, and the dark elements are far too disturbing and violent. |
| User ReviewDerrick PThis was super funny! I loved it... 5 stars |
| User ReviewCliff T5 stars! It was so funny, it had us in stitches!! A good popcorn movie |
| User ReviewRemy SI thought this was one of the funniest films i had seen this year. As a fan of comedies I think they nailed it. Deserves at least a 80% on here honestly |
| User ReviewSarah CInteresting concept. Acting wasn't bad, they all gave strong performances. Great dark comedy. |
| User ReviewStephen KThis was a really good dark comedy. Well acted and a really clever script that featured multi-faceted characters. It was funny but also thought provoking as it mirrors behaviors from people that felt real. Well shot as well. |
| User ReviewAaron KThis is a great film! I was not sure at first, with the 'over the top' character, but his performance actually serves the story very well. It is dark, but satirical with lots of moments that induce hysterical laughter. I've read some comments from people who didn't like the political commentary in the film, but I didn't mind it. Overall, I found it fun & enjoyable! |
| User ReviewAaron JWell shot, quality production... interesting plot and a good message! |
| User ReviewStar KFun indie flick... has a nice message to it too |
| User ReviewSam KNot bad at all! I will give it a 3 just because our family could relate to all of the scenes. It's not a big budget film but hey the script is solid and the actors weren't bad at all. If you want a good laugh give it a watch! |
