Bad Apples, The Crash, and a momentous October 2nd with a fainting spell involving The Darkness… Grace has been a busy bee this week.
Bad Apples is in cinemas now starring Saoirse Ronan as a teacher frustrated with a challenging student, a distinct lack of support from school management, and a class which cannot be reached with her attentions directed towards managing one student.
A fairly grey moral area emerges as the teacher effectively kidnaps the student and imprisons him in her house.
Grace gave this cracker of a film a 4.5/5 (not one to award the full 5 stars easily is our Grace!)
And for those who won’t make it to the cinema, The Crash on Netflix has viewers going down a rabbithole of armchair detective activity when a car driven at 100 mph crashes killing two passengers and injuring the driver.
The driver is Mackenzie Shirilla, aged then 17, who was in a long-term committed relationship with Dominic Russo and living with him in his house.
What seemed initially as a tragic accident turned into a murder trial, ahead of her eventual imprisonment.
It’s the side stories on YouTube, Reddit, and other platforms which add much more meat to the bone here and make this something worth sinking your teeth into,
AND it’s October 2nd, which marks Grace’s anniversary of feigning a fainting period outside HMV in order to see The Darkness… would you doubt her?
Listen back in full and catch Grace every Friday after the news at 9am.
