## Description

From OscarÂ(r)-nominated* writer-director David Mamet (Glengarry Glen Ross) comes this chillingly provocative, incisive drama that dissects the controversial issue of sexual harassmentfrom every emotionally wrenching side of the equation. When a college professor about to be tenured (William H. Macy, Fargo) meets a struggling student (Debra Eisenstadt) behind closed doors,their conversation yields only mutual misunderstanding and a charge of sexual harassment. And as their mutual antipathy turns ugly, it destroys lives, derails careers and ultimately leads to a cataclysmic event that no one ever expected! *1997: Adapted Screenplay, Wag the Dog (with Hilary Henkin); 1982: Adapted Screenplay, The Verdict

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Whichever side you take, you're wrong
  

*by S***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 10, 2008*

David Mamet's screen adaption of the play (also written by Mamet) is an extraordinary journey into the world of perception. The film has only two characters, one being a college professor (played by William H Macy) and a shy young student (played by Debra Eisenstadt) even though these two characters are the only prominent players in the story; the director manages to develop a nerve retching, edge of your seat thriller that will have you thinking during the credits.The film begins with carol (the shy student) that is failing a college course and is really eager to pass her class. She tries to convince her professor of giving her a second chance at passing the class. the professor has no interest in doing so, the student insists. This is pretty much the whole story a feedback between student and professor, between the so called experienced and the amateur. the story gets in to full thriller mode when carol begins to blackmail her professor, claiming that he harassed and intended to rape her. The films climax is also amazing and it will leave you wondering as to what you would do in that type of situation.MY PERSONAL RATING: 3 ½ out of 5

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Verbose Dialog and Boring
  

*by J***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 14, 2023*

This film is very unrealistic. A professor and a student in a confrontation about a failing grade. The attitude of the student is sophomoric ( 8th grade maybe.) The dialog goes like this: the student makes a statement, and the professor pontificates with philosophical response. The student kind of understands. This reiterates for a scene that lasted 30 minutes. When I attended college, you knew you how you were doing by the mid-term exams. In addition, I had to make an appointment to see my professor. The back drop of the story is the professor was pressed for time to attend an important meeting with his wife for a real-estate transaction that had issues.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    This is actually a horror film!
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 3, 2002*

Sure, on the surface this seems like a movie/play about sexual harrassment, but it is truly deeper and more terrifying than that.  I believe what this story is about is modern man's inability to conduct civil discourse, and of our propensity to run roughshod over our fellow citizens just to prove that we can.  The professor and the student in this story are both extremely flawed in their own ways, but in common they are both terrible at simple human communication (and Mamet's staccato style and rhythm of dialogue deliberately adds fuel to that fire).  As a result, a very minor event gets blown WAY out of proportion, and neither character has the foresight to see how badly things may well turn out as a result - at least until it's too late.  This is actually a very sharp microcosm of America's litigous society.  We seek to sue rather than to compromise or understand.  It's not enough to be right - everyone else has to be wrong.  This story is as good an example as anything else I've encountered of why our society is going to hell in a handbasket.  We as a society are so full of hatred, self-loathing, insecurity, and/or pomposity that we are hastening our own cultural demise.  The tag line for this movie (and the play) is "Whatever side you take, you're wrong."  How right that is!  There is no right side or wrong side.  That is not the point anyway.  The point is, look at the kinds of problems we create for ourselves in this society.  It is truly scary how much real life is mirrored in this story.
