Review of Monsieur Lazhar (2011) by Aaron C — 25 Mar 2013

A tale of devastating loss, innocence and hope from the eyes of the middle schoolers. how do we deal with irrevocable losses and more importantly, how do we protect those we love from the reality of death? do we sweep everything under the carpet soon after the bad news or do we dare or should we attempt to unravel the shadows that lies on our hearts? superbly performed by the charming Fellag (Bachir Lazhar) and beyond adorable Nelisse (aka Alice).
