“Education” is the fifth and last installment in Steve McQueen’s “Small Axe” series, but for a brief moment, “Small Axe: Red, White and Blue” appeared to mark the end. I bring this up for two reasons: First, I alluded to this incorrect order in my review of what is now the third feature. Second, the new placement made me run a parallel train of thought as I watched “Education,” because the tone and story completely changed what I thought the arc of McQueen’s opus was. To be clear, each of these films stands on its own merits, and I have reviewed them as such. However, when taken as part of a whole, this film leaves us with a different set of final questions than “Red, White and Blue” did.
