Lucas is a divorced, laid off high school teacher teacher who is working in a preschool. When a 5 year old girl brings a serious accusation against him, no one will give him the benefit of the doubt. Eventually, the entire town turns against him. This film looks great, has a thoroughly engaging narrative, and has great acting. It has a lot to day about human nature as it concerns our perception of other people whether they are true or not.
The Hunt is a powerful film and gets 4 out of 5 stars.
