This is a fairly thought provoking film about

This is a fairly thought provoking film about young adolescents in a multi-cultural school setting. There are different perspectives shown via people with different personalities, although most of them are quite challenging for the teacher to engage with. I thought the performances seemed quite realistic and I suppose it's a good platform for discussing the themes it covers, including pupil peer pressure/bravado, tolerance, acceptance and how teachers respond to the way pupils 'act out'. There's discussion of the balance between positive encouragement for good behaviour versus punishment for negative behaviour. It may make you see things from other peoples perspectives and so I think it's a good film but it may seem a bit dull for some perhaps - its got a reasonably slow plot pace and I'd suggest its perhaps good as a film to discuss afterwards, rather than an entirely entertaining and 'fun' film as such but it has a pretty solid feel to it, so I'd recommend it, although it won't be for everyone.

Started out conventionally like most classroom narratives with progressive humbling till it slowly diverts to something somewhat more realistic with conflicting irrationality and empathetic provocation that somehow questions the said realism when thinking how things should've been handled better. Aside from the troublesome nature lacking sensible, wholesomely helpful connective heft, it brews a nostalgic atmosphere within a social commentary docudrama hybrid issuing a statement that classroom narratives tend to address through sophisticated performances albeit towards deafly disconnected, non-redemptive receptions under elliptical obscurity. (B)

A surprisingly gripping picture given that it just follows a French class full of teenagers and their teachers. France has a fascinating inner city clash of cultures that is brilliantly portrayed and teased out in this film. There are a few real shocks thrown in for good measure. Really enjoyed this drama and definitely recommend. Pure discourse and battle of wits between the kids and the teacher.
