The Teachers' Lounge

⭐️⭐️⭐️+1/2

What this film manages to do very well is exist within the microcosm it is set while still exploring larger thematic societal complexities. A precisely crafted story and a stellar performance from Leonie Benesch give the beating heart this film needs to succeed narratively.

Frustrating movie in the best way, great screenplay & fantastic acting. The teacher could be quite naive & stubborn, she saw it as a personal failure & acted guiltily. But there was so much more than that.

This gave me sooo much anxiety. But it sure is an interesting study of a situation that I haven’t seen on the screen before (though a bit wild it went that far)⭐️
