About This Movie

So, 'Rotten Apple' dives into a pretty heavy subject. It’s not your typical documentary; it's more of a docu-drama that blends real interviews with dramatized scenes. The tone is unsettling, and it really doesn’t shy away from showing the harsh realities of grooming and sexual assault in schools. Pacing feels deliberate, almost methodical, which adds to the weight of the material. The performances, even from non-actors, are raw and impactful, making you sit with the discomfort. I find it distinctive because it highlights the ripple effects of these actions, not just on victims but communities. It’s the kind of film that sticks with you, forcing you to rethink the narratives we often take for granted.

Not your average documentary; blends dramatization with interviews. · Heavy subject matter, difficult but important to engage with. · Unique in its exploration of the societal ripple effects.
