Nice little pot-boiler about a woman's underlying dissatisfaction with her circumstances and the strange hole she goes down in pursuit of what she wants. The teacher makes choices that are incouragable and wrong, but it's unsettling because her choices are singularly right for her. And the film's inclusion of the kindergartener-poet saying 'I have a poem' to no-one, pushes the unsettling note; as does the teacher's compliance when she knows she has been caught for kidnapping. All well structured, psychological and compassionate. The unsettling whimsy of these turns lend the film a realness, although certainly the movie has been constructed.
Well done. Glad to be taken here
