THE KINDERGARTEN TEACHER

Directed by Sara Colangelo

Lisa Spinelli (Maggie Gyllenhaal) is an unfulfilled Staten Island kindergarten teacher and aspiring poet. When she discovers one of  her five-year-old charges has a gift for poetry it sends her into a downward spiral of obsession. The film rightly sits on the shoulders of Gyllenhaal’s towering performance, which finds a lot of depth in-between the lines opening up an interesting discussion as to how far a child’s talent should be nurtured. Solid support comes from Gael García Bernal as Lisa’s poetry teacher, and Parker Sevak as the intriguing prodigy. Based on the Israeli film The Kindergarten Teacher.
