Luce is a smart psychological thriller that will leave audiences breathless. An all-star high school athlete and accomplished debater, Luce (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) is a poster boy for the new American Dream - as are his parents (Naomi Watts and Tim Roth), who adopted him from a war-torn country a decade earlier. When Luce's teacher (Octavia Spencer) makes a shocking discovery in his locker, Luce's stellar reputation is called into question. But is he really at fault, or is Ms. Wilson preying on dangerous stereotypes? Stacked with amazing performances, and adapted from JC Lee's acclaimed play, director Julius Onah has created an intense, multi-layered and deeply entertaining look at identity in today's America.
Luce Film Synopsis
A star athlete and top student, Luce's idealized image is challenged by one of his teachers when his unsettling views on political violence come to light, putting a strain on family bonds while igniting intense debates on race and identity.

PredictableI think the director wanted to try and make Luce look like the protagonist right from the start especially cause he’s the main character.. but it didn’t work. I’ll give a thumbs up for Octavius though obviously she’s great in any movie..BoyinthestreetsScore: 1/5

Nederlands Luce is een zelfzekere student en erg geliefd door zijn ouders die hem op jonge leeftijd adopteerden. Hij sleept desalniettemin een trauma mee vanuit zijn jonge verleden in een door oorlog verscheurd Afrika.
български език Главният герой Лус изглежда прекалено съвършен и има потенциала да стане следващия Барак Обама. Той се ползва с подкрепата на своите родители, които са го осиновили преди десетилетие от държава, раздирана от военни конфликти. Безупречната репутация на Лус обаче е нарушена от едно шокиращо откритие на неговата учителка госпожа Уилсън. Дали обаче той наистина има вина или просто учителката се вживява прекалено много и се поддава на опасни стереотипи?
Español Han pasado diez años desde que Amy y Peter Edgar adoptasen un niño procedente de la guerra de Eritrea, donde tuvo lugar una cruenta guerra civil. Luce Edgar se ha convertido en un estudiante modelo al que todo el mundo adora dentro de su comunidad en Arlington, Virginia. Una de sus profesoras, Harriet Wilson, está convencida de que Luce se convertirá en un símbolo de la excelencia negra, un referente para sus compañeros y para la gente que le rodea. Sin embargo, Harriet descubre una alarmante actitud social con respecto a la violencia política en una de las redacciones que pide para el instituto, lo que hace temer que Luce esconde mucho más de lo que aparenta. Sus peores sospechas se confirman tras abrir su taquilla personal, donde encuentra algo que hace encender todas las alarmas.
Pусский Люс - улыбчивый чернокожий старшеклассник, звезда школы, гордость учителей и приёмных родителей, десять лет назад усыновивших ребёнка из Эритреи. Но однажды учительница находит в сочинении Люса слишком много симпатии к панафриканскому движению и радикальным политическим лидерам. Теперь все обеспокоены: отличник оказался совсем не таким пай-мальчиком, каким его считали.

Français Dix ans se sont écoulés depuis qu’Amy et Peter Edgar ont adopté leur fils d’un pays ravagé par la guerre, pensant que le pire est maintenant derrière eux. Luce Edgar est devenu un athlète vedette au sein de leur communauté d’Arlington, en Virginie. Son professeur, Harriet Wilson, pense qu’il incarne l’excellence et est un modèle auprès des autres étudiants. Cependant, lorsque ce professeur donne comme consigne d’écrire un essai en prenant la position d’un personnage historique marquant du dernier siècle, Luce remet un texte prônant la violence politique. Inquiète de voir ce texte affecter l’avenir de son étudiant vedette, Harriet fouille son casier et y trouve quelque chose qui confirme ses plus grandes craintes.

Polski Luce pochodzi z pogrążonej w konflikcie Erytrei. Jako dziecko został adoptowany przez amerykańskie małżeństwo, Petera i Amy. Nastoletni Luce wydaje się idealnym synem i uczniem, odnosi sukcesy w nauce i w sporcie. Jego esej na temat przemocy budzi niepokój nauczycielki. Wygląda na to, że chłopak nie poradził sobie z wojenną traumą.
Türkçe Evli bir çift, sadık bir lise öğretmeni tarafından yapılan endişe verici bir keşif, yıldız öğrencisi statüsünü tehdit etmesinden sonra, savaşın parçaladığı Eritre'den evlat edinilmiş idealize edilmiş oğulları imajını hesaba katmak zorunda kalır.
Magyar Sztár atléta és kiváló hallgató, ám Luce idealizált képét egyik tanára kétségbe vonja, amikor fény derül a politikai erőszakkal kapcsolatos nyugtalanító nézeteire, megterhelve ezzel a családi kötelékeket, miközben fellángolnak a fajról és az identitásról szóló intenzív viták.
Český Luce je hvězdný sportovec a nejlepší student, ale jeho idealizovaný obraz zpochybní jeden z jeho učitelů, když vyjdou najevo jeho znepokojivé názory na politické násilí, což zatíží rodinné vazby a zároveň rozpoutá vášnivé debaty o rase a identitě.

Slovenčina Luce je mladý černoch, ktorý sa narodil vo vojnou zmietanej Eritrei, kde sa stal takzvaným detským vojakom. Adoptovali si ho bieli Američania Peter a Amy Edgarovci a teraz je hviezdou strednej školy vo Virgínii ako vynikajúci športovec so skvelými známkami. Chová však nevraživosť voči svojej učiteľke dejepisu, Afroameričanke Harriet, kvôli ktorej bol jeho kamarát DeShaun vyhodený z atletického tímu po tom, čo v jeho skrinke našla marihuanu a zavolala políciu. Harriet zavolá Luceovým rodičom do školy a ukáže im jeho esej. Luce si vybral Frantza Fanona, černošského politického radikála, panafrikanistu a marxistu, ktorý vyzýval k násiliu. Harriet to využila ako dôvod na prehľadanie Luceovej skrinky a našla zakázanú pyrotechniku. Rodičia sú znepokojení, ale Luce nič nepovedia...

Italiano Atleta famoso e studente eccezionale, l'immagine idealizzata di Luce viene messa in discussione da uno dei suoi insegnanti quando vengono alla luce le sue inquietanti opinioni sulla violenza politica, che mettono a dura prova i legami familiari e accendono intensi dibattiti su razza e identità.
Deutsch Es ist zehn Jahre her, seit Amy und Peter Edgar ihren Sohn adoptiert haben. Er stammt aus dem vom Krieg zerrissenen Eritrea und war sieben Jahre alt, als man ihn in die USA holte. Luce hat sich, nicht nur in sportlicher Hinsicht, zu einem All-Star-Schüler entwickelt, der von seiner Gemeinde in Arlington geliebt wird. Seine afroamerikanische Lehrerin Harriet Wilson glaubt, dass er ein positives Beispiel für die anderen ist. Sie ist allerdings besorgt, als Luce, der auch Anführer des Debattierteams ist, in einem Essay, das er aus der Sicht einer historischen Figur des 20. Jahrhunderts schreiben soll, alarmierende Aussagen über politische Gewalttaten macht. In Eritrea hatte Luce den Umgang mit Waffen gelernt, bevor er gehen konnte, und die Geschehnisse lassen ihn einfach nicht los.
