Bad Genius

"Bad Genius" one of the best movies about geniuses, follows the journey of an academic prodigy called Lynn - a brilliant high schooler on a scholarship for her smarts. She pulls off an epic move during an exam, using piano patterns as secret codes to share answers, leaving her teacher clueless.

But things take a turn when Lynn starts taking money for her genius tricks. That's when she gets involved in a massive scheme: cheating on an international university test. She's got it all planned, from timezones to barcodes, and rakes in the cash from numerous clients. Of course, genius or not, things don't always go as smooth as silk. When they slip up, many thrilling twists take place.

Beyond the academic realm, "Bad Genius" touches upon the theme of friendship and loyalty, as Lynn's relationships with her friends are tested when they become entangled in the cheating plot. The movie also criticizes the pressure to conform to societal norms and expectations: Lynn's actions can be seen as a rebellion against a system that expects her to fit the mold of an ideal student, raising questions about the true value of education and the pursuit of knowledge.
