I've just watched this on the plane home and found it amazing. I had tears in my eyes and really felt for the characters.
br /I think people who liked films such as Hotel Rhwanda, Shinderers list etc would like this too.

For those emotionally secure people, such as myself, I found it hard to keep my emotionally secured feelings emotionally secured whilst watching this film. It was edited fantastically, shot brilliantly, acted amazingly and worked together to form a perfect whole.

br /There is, of course, the fact that it is an all too common issue, one which we see all too much of, to little effect. There is also the fact that the same old shootings and naive do-gooders make their respective appearances, however, the primary synopsis of the teacher trying to make herself understood, to a class trying to make themselves understood goes hand-in-hand for a movie that crescendoes and breaks the emotional barriers of the most secure people.

br /My friend cries at nothing. My friend sobbed in the cinema.
br /Watch it. Alone. Absorb. Then buy the book!

I watched this on the weekend and was blown away. I love films and in an age of CGI animation and blockbuster special effects, it was liberating to watch a film that was so moving and inspirational.

br /The film tells the story of a teacher, who from her class room, managed to change peoples lives for the better and give them a tool to change the world...an education.
br /
br /This film prooves that if you dare to dream and reach for the stars...you might just get there. Watch the film as it will inpspire you.

Yes, you may have seen similar films like this but for me i think this film was great viewing as it wasn't about the pupils fitting in and having their lives turned around, it was also a teachers struggle to earn the respect of her pupils.
br /I've never seen a hilary swank film but gotta say she was really good in her role and most of all convincing.
br /
br /With all what's going on i think this well worth watching and would recommend this to anyone.

I watch a lot of films and don't write many reviews but I had to about this film, I just loved it! The premise has been done many times before but this film just has the edge to the others, it draws you in right from the beginning and Hilary Swank is excellent, I recommend anyone to watch this film, although its a bit of a weepy
