Review of Monsieur Lazhar (2011) by Train M — 13 Sep 2012
What a beautiful, haunting film! I absolutely loved it! The girl who plays Alice was absolutely stunning. What screen presence for someone so young! The extras were quite interesting as well, including a thirty-three minute dialog between the director and the woman who wrote the stage play it was based on (she also played Alice's mother).
I thought it was fascinating to see how different the film was from the stage play, and yet told the same story. This is a terrific film that I can heartily recommend. There are so many little sub-plots to this that I think just about anyone ought to be able to find a hook into the story.
Oh, and the actor who plays Bashir Lazhar, was superb!
