Storyline
Featured review
I am shocked that this film might never ever find the audience it would truly deserve, which is the biggest possible. At the time of writing this review only thirty-three people on Letterboxd have seen this movie, which only got a very small theatrical release according to IMDb, though it seems like that actually was only a digital one. It's hard to say because absolutely no one is talking about this impressive film that I would recommend to absolutely everyone I know. It's a movie that should be shown in schools. Teacher is well told, goes to unexpected places, has great performances all over, and tells its honest and deeply saddening truth. This film is a punch to the gut, but a well-meaning one and one that tells its really hard to watch story with a lot of respect but in a still uncompromising way. It isn't perfect because some things feel a bit rushed and sometimes just not fully earned, but overall it really gets its message across very powerfully and packs a lasting punch. I hope this beautiful film will somehow find an audience and maybe be seen thanks to word of mouth. If you have the chance to see it, please do so and maybe tell me what you think about it. Teacher is about hate, growing up in an unforgiving environment, finding ways to love and not give into violence, and about not ever looking away. Don't ignore the people around you, don't judge them too soon, try to talk to each other. I've never written a review close to crying before. Please give the movie a chance and while you're at it also see Detachment. That would make a saddening but necessary, made with love and incredibly underseen double feature. Both of these films were made with such care and heart, yet barely anyone has gotten the chance to see them because these types of movies aren't very easy to market in a world full of people that'd rather look away. Both films are about teachers and students, both are all about what is happening right now probably more than it ever has, letting people fall by the wayside.
