John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter 06/09/2020
A strangely provocative film balanced between social parable and psychological horror, Mark Jackson's This Teacher watches a woman having a breakdown in a world that insists on denying its own madness. Go to Full Review Musanna Ahmed Film Inquiry 06/24/2020
This Teacher is both a step forward in representation and a wildly enthralling viewing experience. Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills 06/08/2020
It's a film that always seems to know exactly what it's doing, even if Jackson's intent is often baffling to the viewer. Go to Full Review Lorry Kikta Film Threat 06/08/2020
9/10
This Teacher is an exceptionally written, slyly funny yet emotionally harrowing film that is carried by Hafsia Herzi's incredible performance. Go to Full Review Luke Parker VoiceBoxOffice 06/02/2020
4/5
