Reviews
"Luce" is a neatly constructed puzzle, an engrossing weave of suburban drama and sociopolitical whodunit.Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
More than a battle of wills between a high-school teacher and her star pupil, the movie Luce uses that familiar premise to explore the beliefs -- and the fears -- by which our enlightened, progressive society lives.Armond White, National Review
To say that it unfolds like a play is both accurate and undersells how gorgeously it has been rendered for the screen.Ben Kenigsberg, New York Times
