actors were all very talented (including the little girl), strory was unique, no boring moment through the screening eventhough it was a long story. had a great viewing all by my lonesome. thanks!
beautiful story. great characters that are convincing. a must see.
excellent acting, realistic actors, great theme and morals!
my wife just loved it. she was entertained and it kept her attention - she was in the story, wanting the school to turn around. for my part, i am more rationnal "i think too much" ;) so i was concerned about the realisticness of the whole thing, the lack of discussion of the view from the kids'perspective. i may have been too much of a nerd to enjoy the movie fully, but even so, i think that it was a wothwhile movie to watch and i had a good time.
great story ! maggie got the character in her blood.
it's ok
movie to see by any parent with kids in school. it shows how one must fight to improve one mind at a time. wonderfull acting by davis, gillenhaal and hunter
nice story, and the actors were really great in their performance !
really enjoyable ,good story, important topic though i found the reasonings behind previous lack of action by school boards to be totally incomprehensible-- children should always be the main reasoning and if the system is failing them then the school boards, the unions and everyone else should be trying to make changes not blocking changes.
a very inspirational story that is worth seeing.
