Steve

gosh.. if you value your happiness don’t watch this

Murphy’s performance anchors this film and makes it more emotionally engaging. It’s tackling many difficult subjects; mental health, burnout, and failures in the education system, among others. There is a focus shift on characters that threw me off, but it’s otherwise good.

6.5

3/5 ⭐️

Steve is a film about a teacher at a school for troubled boys, where he has to deal with their personal struggles as well as their addictions. I think it could have been a great film if it had approached the story more from a psychological perspective, exploring the boys’ problems in greater depth and showing possible ways to help them overcome those struggles.

The film is entertaining, but I feel that it wasted a narrative that could have worked much better. Steve is a broken, exhausted, and addicted man, yet he continues to stand by his students despite everything he is going through. His character has a lot of potential because he is struggling with his own demons while trying to support these young men.

I also would have liked to see what happened to the school. Was it eventually closed? Did Steve continue struggling with his addiction? And was Shy going to be okay after his suicide attempt? I feel that these questions were left unresolved, and that is what the film was missing toward the end. A deeper exploration of these consequences could have made the story much more impactful and emotionally satisfying.

Couldn’t get into it need to watch longer than ten mins. I love Cillian Murphy and his acting so we will give it another shout at some point

Its just…good. It feels really realistic, and you really get a feel for the world steve is living in despite the short 90 ish minutes of screentime
