Garrett Hedlund’s tutor character Ethan opens up toNoah Schnapp’s student Jackson in a new clip from their upcoming movieThe Tutor.
“We’re all just broken. We can really only just try our best,” Ethan tells Jackson in the clip, as Jackson rests his head against Ethan’s leg.
The scene takes a turn when Jackson stands up, tells Ethan he must be a “really special person” for his listening skills and exits the room, leaving the tutor bewildered at his pupil’s strange behavior.

The clip comes from the Jordan Ross-directed movieThe Tutor, in which Hedlund, 38, plays “an in-demand tutor for the East Coast monied elite” who takes a job instructing Jackson (StrangerThingsstar Schnapp), the son of a billionaire on the premises of his family’s “remote New York waterfront estate,” according to an official synopsis for the film.
