The Good Teacher

Directed by Teddy Lussi-Modeste in 2024, this drama-thriller follows a young teacher falsely accused of sexual misconduct by a student, and the escalating fallout that engulfs him. As pressure mounts from the girl's family and classmates, rumor and suspicion spread through the school, threatening his livelihood and reputation while he struggles to clear his name. Tense and uncomfortable, the film examines accusation, presumption of guilt, and the speed at which a community can turn. Aimed at adult audiences who appreciate morally charged, socially conscious dramas, it builds quiet dread rather than spectacle. The film holds a MagicMovieScore of 6.3.
