Luce
A teacher suspects her prize student might be hiding a shocking secret in a taut thriller directed by Julius Onah. Luce Edgar (Kevin Harrison Jr) escapes from war-torn Eritrea to find safety in America with adopted parents Peter and Amy (Tim Roth, Naomi Watts). They shower the boy with love and encouragement, and he blossoms at high school as an all-star athlete and gifted debater. Fellow students and staff adore Luce, except for history teacher Harriet Wilson (Octavia Spencer), who discovered weed in the locker of his friend DeShaun (Brian Bradley) and contacted the police. Ever since, Luce has nurtured a grudge against Harriet. Out of the blue, Harriet contacts Amy and asks for a meeting, where she explains that she has found contraband in Luce's locker. The teacher is also concerned about some of the views expressed in one of Luce's recent essays. Amy discusses the matter with Peter and they debate how to tackle the issue with their adopted son.
