- Synopsis
- A two character movie, involving a college professor, John, who is confronted by a female student, Carol, who is failing his course. The two spend a long time talking to each other, during which time John says a few things that can be taken the wrong way. After the night the two spent talking, John is slapped with a sexual harassment accusation by Carol. After more accusations from Carol, John's career as a teacher begins to fall apart. This forces John with a choice on how to handle the situation, and the results make up for a shattering ending to the movie.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Oleanna probes deeply into some of the darker facets of human interaction, and anything with this keen an edge will cause discomfort."
-
"This is the kind of all-too-rare picture that creates conversation on the way home from the movie theater."
-
"'Oleanna' the movie remains faithful to the charged 1992 play in Mamet's original Off Broadway production. It features outstanding performances by a pair of expert actors"
-
"'Oleanna' is Mamet's form of intellectual hazing, and we seated in the theater are, alas, his victims."
