“The Tutor,” directed by Jordan Ross, finds Ethan (Garrett Hedlund), a highly coveted tutor amongst powerful families, is offered a lucrative $2500 a day to take Jackson (Noah Schnapp) as a new pupil; he immediately jumps at the opportunity. Ethan and his girlfriend Annie (Victoria Justice) are expecting their first child, making this avenue towards financial stability more than enticing—it’s necessary. However, Jackson isn’t weird the way we imagine most rich kids are weird. What begins as a working relationship permeated by “strange vibes,” as Ethan describes them, quickly turns into something more sinister. Jackson begins stalking Ethan, creepily showing up at his home after hours and the restaurants he and Annie frequent. “The Tutor” promises a thrilling story defined by dark obsessions and motivations, leading to a situation that has the potential to ruin Ethan’s life for good.
