Viewing Notes
Buoyed by a strong performance from the lead actress, A Teacher is a really affecting drama. I tension builds as her live spirals out of control and just completely nosedives at the end.
One of the interesting things to me was that it seemed as if she never held the power in the relationship. From real life stories of this sort of thing, it often seems that the opposite is true. Or at least that the media portrays the “adult” in the relationship as the one manipulating and controlling the minor.
At any rate, I thought it was an interesting take on the subject.
