Bad Words (2013)
A 40-year-old man finds a loophole that allows him to compete in the National Quill Spelling Bee, a competition traditionally for children. Cynical and misanthropic, he ruthlessly crushes his adolescent competitors, attracting the ire of parents and officials. He is followed by a reporter trying to uncover his motive, and he forms an unlikely friendship with a fellow child competitor.
