Review: The Exam (2009)is a lovely small budget psychological thriller that’s a study example of human reactions, anger, stress, ambitions and intelligence. The important thing is to put on this movie without high expectations and just enjoy and follow along. Put yourself in their seat. Think smart, think different. Try to outsmart them. Then you’ll have fun. Because that’s this movie’s goal. Let’s not pretend we never thought or said something similar to this idea. Now do me a favor, watch the film and tell me: ”Do you have any questions?”
I am a lifetime movie addict and cinema is my passion. I’ve been a movie writer for 8 years. My goal is to teach people how to watch movies and how to appreciate them instead of hating them. Some gems are hidden out there but I’m here to show you them all!
