I hate giving emotionally manipulative movies a high rating, but this one deserves it. A dramatisation based on an actual story, this showed a teacher recognising the potential in a group of students challenged by the socioeoconomics. And although based on events over 20 years ago, it is just emotion today as we watch inequality increased by covid19. It reminds us that there are people in our systems.
All backed up with some solid performances - all the kids showed they could go onto great careers, Swank was consistently caring but out of place, and there was great support from Glenn and Staunton.
So sit back, enjoy, and be prepared to cover some unexpected eye irritations as you watch.
