If you've seen Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Talk to Her, All About My Mother, or any of the other great Almodovar films, you won't want to miss the gem that is Bad Education. We'd say "enjoy," but this is a dark film on a difficult subject. We're talking a timely little matter of priests behaving, well, badly. The great Gael Garcia Bernal stars as a grown man continuously trying to cope with the childhood trauma he experienced at Catholic school. He is reacquainted, after 20 years, with his friend from school, and this brings the events of the past into even sharper focus. Maybe there is no right time to see a movie like this, but take a deep breath and dive in anyway. You'll be glad you did.
