This school-based "clever, compelling Korean thriller" - Alan Hunter, Express - continues South Korea's rising prestige in world cinema. There is huge pressure on children to excel at school in the widening class society. 'Pluto' charts just how far June, one of the few non-wealthy boys at this boarding school, is forced to go to improve his grades to gain entry to the elite universities, and how he is used by the other boys in his school.
