This would not to be everyone's taste and in fact several of the audience members left the theatre where it was being screened.
It is extremely sloooooow paced. But exquisite and beautiful, like a rare jewel. Even several days later it is still with me.
The teacher, Georges Lopez, is amazing, both in his talent and in his reflection of the gift of a true vocation in what he does and in his strength on screen. There is never a doubt that this man loves his pupils and they love him and he proceeds to care for them and bring out the best in them with his one on one intensity.
I gave it an 8 out of 10. Do not miss this if you do not mind your movies subtitled - though because of the ages of the children I found the French quite easy to follow - and deeply reflective.
This movie is what learning should be for every child.
