Certainly not the best film I've ever seen Julie Walters do but definitely thought provoking.
Julie Walters portrayal of Glasgow born Headmistress Mhairi Stubbs was fantastic. She makes the character stand out like a head of school should. And Julies Glasgow accent, phenomenally done, a Real blast from home, You would never suspect she was a midlands girl after watching this.
The film successfully displays the atmosphere to be found in a lot of schools all over the country even mine once or twice. This film encourages the viewer to look back on school experiences and smile.
Ahead of the class made for an enjoyable and at times gripping movie experience and personally, I would watch it again.
