French C What did I just watch? It starts off interesting and then NOTHING of interest happens for the next hour. So the theme is just that even a kindergarten teacher can be creepy? Good to know - not worth the time. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/12/23 Full Review Ann E I absolutely loved this movie! Most of the time I found myself thinking about the variety of ways you can interpret an issue, weigh the sides and still be confused. For me it was very thought provoking. (If it wasn't thought provoking, you probably didn't like the movie.) The ending spoke volumes for me. Spoiler alert….. Will this little boy ever have anyone see him and his genius like his teacher did? Who knows…. 🌺 I just finished watching it couple hours ago and I still can't stop thinking about it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I don’t understand all the rave reviews! This movie had such a bland, flat vibe. The ending was abrupt like a lifetime movie ending. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/29/22 Full Review isla s This is a subtle film. It takes a little while to focus on who is clearly the child of primary focus, character wise (the teacher aside). I really rate Maggie Gyllenhaal as an actress - she is quite expressive and it shows that she cares for and truly wants to encourage the child's creative talent. I should point out that there is more going on than first seems but I won't elaborate, obviously so as not to provide any spoilers of course. However, there is also a darker side that is suggested at times and that made me curious to find out more about the childs family/background. The music played (mostly stringed instruments) gives it a slightly spooky and sort of claustrophobic angle as well. There is some poignant dialogue and I thought this film was well made, hence I'd recommend it - the only downside I felt was that there are unanswered questions by the end, which may frustrate you. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review tom e As a former school teacher, she crossed so many legal and social lines early on in the movie, it made me very uncomfortable. The movie was very well done, but the "creepy factor" was troubling throughout. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A remake worth watching. A kindergarten teacher sees and encourages the talents of one of her students who is a gifted poet. The dynamics in her personal family, with the student's father, and a poetry instructor are what make this story so interesting.
