Luce is a smart psychological thriller that will leave audiences breathless. An all-star high school athlete and accomplished debater, Luce (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) is a poster boy for the new American Dream - as are his parents (Naomi Watts and Tim Roth), who adopted him from a war-torn country a decade earlier. When Luce's teacher (Octavia Spencer) makes a shocking discovery in his locker, Luce's stellar reputation is called into question. But is he really at fault, or is Ms. Wilson preying on dangerous stereotypes? Stacked with amazing performances, and adapted from JC Lee's acclaimed play, director Julius Onah has created an intense, multi-layered and deeply entertaining look at identity in today's America.

Brittany Patrice Witherspoon

Julius Onah’s use of the grand cinematic space to bring the themes of black identity, power dynamics and privilege to the big screen is remarkable.

A brilliant, challenging film that provokes the audience as much as it provokes the characters, and represents our troubled times in an ingenious way.

The acting in this film is superb all around, with a special shout out to Marsha Stephanie Blake who does a spectacular turn.

Like it or not, this film will start many a conversation, and good ones at that. Luce simply must be seen to be believed.

It’s a tense, sometimes incendiary movie that constantly challenges its audience. You never know who has the upper hand in any conversation, or who is telling the truth.
