Featured review
A sympathetic teacher
This film tells the story of an unmarried female teacher who is in trouble after an alumnus playwright goes back to her school for a school play.
Julienne Moore often plays challenging characters, and this English teacher is no different. She faces loneliness, shame and embarrassment; yet deep down she is a good person who does teenagers much good. I sympathize with her experience, and I thought she did not deserve such bullying. I liked the ending a lot, although I thought the film could have done without the narration of the voice that tells her what to do and what not to do.
The story is told in a comedic manner, hence I enjoyed watching it.
