Review of Waiting for "Superman" (2010) by Matthew R — 22 Apr 2018
Waiting for 'Superman'.
Directed By: Davis Guggenheim.
Starring: The Black Family, Geoffrey Canada and The Esparza Family.
Plot: Filmmaker Davis Guggenheim reminds us that education "statistics" have names: Anthony, Francisco, Bianca, Daisy, and Emily, whose stories make up the engrossing foundation of WAITING FOR SUPERMAN. As he follows a handful of promising kids through a system that inhibits, rather than encourages, academic growth, Guggenheim undertakes an exhaustive review of public education, surveying "drop-out factories" and "academic sinkholes," methodically dissecting the system and its seemingly intractable problems.
Review: This Documentary is great. It shows how our public school is failing and shows possible ways to fix it but also says that there may be no chance without the current system being changed. I feel this movie is a great watch makes you really think what could have been if your school did a better job preparing you. It also makes you really think what you'd do and what you should so.
Rating: 7/10.
Recommendation: Rent it is worth seeing. Available on Netflix.
