Bad Genius (2024) | Rotten Tomatoes (2025)

Audience Reviews

prawnda s it's a little better than other films this year, but that doesn't make it exceptional. many of the signals the students use are utterly excessive and obvious, and the film is surprisingly vapid. i would have given a higher rating if they didn't play so much of debussy's arabesque, because literally everyone on the planet is tired of that song by now. sure, i liked it when i was younger and hadn't heard it spammed on every youtube video and in every dentist's office, but it's an extremely low hanging fruit if the film is supposed to be about intellectuals. it would have been less cringey to use yo yo ma's bach recordings, and yes that is facetious. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/15/24 Full Review Hilda A Overall, Bad Genius is one of the smartest and most exciting films I’ve seen in a while. It’s refreshing, suspenseful, and has a lot to say about the world we live in. If you’re a fan of heist movies or just looking for something that will keep you guessing, this one is a must-watch! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Joe C Bad Genius blew me away with its unique take on the heist genre. Instead of your typical bank or casino robbery, this film turns the world of academic exams into a high-stakes game, and the results are nothing short of brilliant. The tension is palpable from start to finish, and every scene feels meticulously crafted to keep you on the edge of your seat.
