Detachment (2012)
Filmed in the seemingly well-appointed Mineola high school on Long Island (though not identified), Detachment is directed by the British video director who made the not uninteresting American History X. It’s the ultimate sink school picture towards which all movie indictments of public education have been heading since Blackboard Jungle 57 years ago. The principal is about to be dismissed, the pupils are dangerously out of control, the staff at the end of their tether, the parents aggressively uncooperative, the authorities ignorant and insensitive.
