Evils of standardized testing are dramatized in this hit sci-fi film from last year. Shailene Woodley, who was praised as a gifted young actress by The Descendants co-star George Clooney, carries a major genre film as a young woman who rebels against the status quo of this film’s imagined future society. It’s a world in which people are divided into caste-like factions based on their tested and identified emotions and virtues. Put me down as one of the Aloofs.
