Professional Reviews
2 reviews from 2 criticsThe film offers charm and a solid foundation for sequels with strong supporting performances, but its stretched runtime and predictable plot prevent it from standing out. It delivers enough entertainment to justify its place in Netflix's lineup despite feeling like a middling adventure.
“As the introductory number to a potentially sizeable Netflix IP, The School for Good and Evil does plenty well, but equally flatters to deceive in other areas.”
