      Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times Harchol's inspirational film eschews mainstream tropes in favor of a bracingly candid sociological study that has compellingly done its homework. Apr 9, 2020 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter A compelling drama about education, minus the Hollywood hokum. Apr 7, 2020 Full Review Peter Rainer FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I've rarely seen a movie about teachers and students that was this realistic... It doesn't seem phony at all. Apr 4, 2020 Full Review Andrew Stover Film Threat About a Teacher is a deeply personal drama about the challenges of teaching from the perspective of a new inner-city teacher. Rated: 8/10 Apr 11, 2020 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media Written and directed by the real Hanan Harchol, based on his own experiences, this sometimes awkward but ultimately earnest and moving drama transcends the usual "teacher movie" cliches. Rated: 3/5 Apr 10, 2020 Full Review Harvey S. Karten Shockya.com Coronavirus first responders are heroes. But teachers are heroes throughout their careers. Here's one such celebrity. Rated: B+ Apr 9, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
