What is interesting to watch are the unexpected turns that occur when a jilted lover, a kidnapped rich capitalist and a pair of new lovers are cooped up in an isolated chalet. Full Review |

2.5/4 |
Plays out like an ambivalent political tract, full of dissatisfaction but no conclusions. Full Review |

Although The Edukators, directed by Hans Weingartner, is a German-language film, it is set in a global village where all politics are local. Full Review |

|
'2.5/4' |
This supposedly progressive movie unintentionally delivers a sexist message as old as the garden of Eden: Don't let a woman get involved, because she'll mess things up. Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
Captures the frustration of those who sense something deeply dysfunctional in the political and economic status quo but feel impotent do anything about it. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
Unless you're the sort who has a Che Guevara T-shirt tucked away somewhere in your closet, the needlessly long The Edukators wears out its welcome. Full Review |

B |
The situations feel real, the injustices believable and the human frailty is all too recognizable. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
Intelligent, entertaining and, yes, educational as it looks at the nature of political activism now and then. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
The romantic triangle at the heart of the story isn't particularly suspenseful, and the all-important politics unfortunately feel facile at best. Full Review |
||
|
C |
Like its protagonists, it means well, but gets mixed up. Too easily. Full Review |
