This was one of Herald Entertainment's most read stories in 2019.
A student managed to get a perfect score when bravely sending in a 19-word film review to her professor.
Allison Garrett revealed on Twitter that she took her chances when an opportunity arose after her class were assigned to write a review on a movie.
The student went with the 1999 cult classic Fight Club, starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton.
The plot involves two characters who play the split-personalities of an insomniac who starts an underground fight club.

Her post also shows the student's assignment submission page where she swore she was proud of her assignment.
"I cannot say that I am sorry because that would be a lie. Am I proud? Yes," she said.
The last photo unexpectedly reveals that her teacher was quite impressed with her "humourous" essay and gave her a score of 100/100.
"I struggled over this grade for a long time. I finally decided you get a grade for a laugh and how relevant your review is for this particular movie," her teacher wrote.
"Let me warn you: do NOT try this kind of thing with other professors; they may not have my sense of humour."
Garrett's post was a hit on Twitter with 39,500 retweets and 190,000 likes and many commented saying she was a "genius" and a "legend".
