The Kindergarten Teacher

This is a film that really struck close to home on a lot of levels.  In a nutshell the film is about a woman who has had a cultural and intellectual awakening later in life.  As she evolves into a new woman she struggles to coexist with those around her who do not see interested in bettering themselves. In the middle of all of this she meets a gifted student with whom she becomes obsessed.  I won't say much more than that as I don't want to give anything away.   I think the teacher wishes that she had a mentor in life that would have shown her parts of life that she had to discover on her own.   While I enjoy the process of discovery I often wish that I had someone along the way that would have encouraged it at a younger age.    I don't love the final scenes but the end did not take away from the how I felt about the film.   follow me at https://IHateBadMovies.com

Not quite the heart-tugging and inspirational movie I was expecting. This subverts the Dead Poets-type movie our screens are littered with, and gives us something that is dark and obsessive. Still, despite the actions taken by the teacher in question, you might actually sympathise with her a little come the film's end.
