Counted the jumpscares in Classroom of the Elite. Lost count. Lost interest. Refunded the popcorn emotionally.
“Plot holes? We fell in.”

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Classroom of the Elite?
Rewatched Classroom of the Elite last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Classroom of the Elite actually is?
Everyone praising the Classroom of the Elite performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Unpopular opinion: Classroom of the Elite is the most overrated film of the decade
Director clearly thought Classroom of the Elite was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
