Loved it. Just the right pace and an amazingly well told story. This film really should get more praise than it does.

Realistic and emotional. Follows the life of Dan Dunne a history teacher, very well played by Rayn Gosling, an unhappy man who doesn't care about anything more unless his drugs addiction. We can see him struggle everyday against drugs and throughout the film his addiction seems to get worse and he just can't control it anymore. Shareeka Epps is also great in this film, she plays Drey, one of Dan's student. Both started a friendship beyond school, a friendship that started because of a secret. We definitely feel the chemistry between them. You can find a lot of positive messages in this film.

Ryan Gosling is on very natural form here as the teacher "Dan" who has a bit of a drug habit after school. He's a good teacher. Well liked. A man who gets results from a class of students who would almost all rather be somewhere else, and he coaches the girls' basketball team too. Luckily for him, i More
