Luce (Hulu)

Luce stars Kelvin Harrison Jr., Octavia Spencer, Noami Watts, and Tim Roth. This 2019 film directed by Julius Onah is based on a play of the same name, so it feels very much like a film with theatrical origins. Luce revolves around adoptive parents who start to question if their star son is not as noble and good as they believed. This suspicion is fueled by his teacher, Harriet Wilson (Spencer), who thinks Luce may still have violent tendencies from being a child soldier in Eritrea. Luce doesn’t offer viewers any clear cut answers, everything is vague and ambiguous, but that’s the point. It’s a film that’s supposed to make you think and question Luce, his adopted parents, Harriet, and society as a whole.
