    The Class

    Engaging in spite of the laborious details. There's an honesty and truthfulness about the film that speaks to the audience. Highly watchable and moving.

    questions, no answers

    this film though, technically, not a documentary, feels very authentic. My problem was it didn't go anywhere. Lots of questions but no answers. The end leaves you in the same place as the beginning.

    Too artsy. A documentary disguised as entertainment. It could have been more interesting with a few surprises or twists, however there was nothing in the film that any middle school teacher would not have anticipated.

    Exhausting purposeful film...

    I've read some reviews that say this film lacks focus, but I have to say that I was extremely impressed with the film. And I'm comfortable saying that those who thought it lacked focus likely just couldn't keep up! It's an intense film. Dialogue is in its native french language with streaming English translated subtitles that go roughly a mile a minute! So, that makes it VERY difficult to keep up with.

    Since I speak french I actually found it even MORE difficult to keep up with. At times I would be watching the film listening and understanding the dialogue, but then would get lost and would try to figure it out by switching to the subtitles. Eeeesh. A nightmare with the dialogue moving as quickly as it did.

    That said, I LOVED this film.
