You can watch Evil (2003) for free on Hoopla.

Stockholm, in the 1950s. Erik is expelled from the local school for getting into one brawl too many. To protect Erik from his violent stepfather’s reaction to his expulsion, Erik's mother arranges for Erik to spend a year at Stjärnsberg Boarding School, the only school willing to accept him. This is Erik's last chance to graduate to Upper School and he promises his mother, for his and her sake, to do all he can to stay out of trouble.

Stiff collars and rigid social hierarchies define this 1950s Stockholm boarding school where one boy’s survival depends on suppressing his volatile nature. This claustrophobic pressure cooker forces a desperate student to navigate brutal discipline and the crushing weight of conformity.
