Review
Picture a teacher, heartbroken after her daughter’s death. Turns out, the students did it! But instead of calling the cops, she unleashes a twisted revenge plan that’ll leave you gasping.
Just when you think you know what’s happening, BAM! The movie throws another curveball. It’s a puzzle box of secrets, lies, and dark desires that keeps you guessing till the very end.
This ain’t your fluffy rom-com. It’s dark, disturbing, and explores the depths of human cruelty. Be prepared for some shocking scenes and uncomfortable truths.
Beyond the thrills, “Confessions” tackles complex themes like bullying, parental grief, and the justice system. It’s a thought-provoking film that’ll stay with you long after the credits roll.
Some redditors believe that the film is an underrated gem.
