Monsieur Lazhar (2011)
Perfect Chrysalis - Halfway between a worm and a butterfly
28 April 2012 - 6 out of 24 users found this review helpful.
An extraordinary potential story.
A refugee with a traumatic past finds his way as a teacher to a middle school class whose teacher has died. All the elements for a great film but only half developed.
Could be a stunning film, but now only a "coulda-shoulda".
What an opportunity for an editor!
And it is all there in vitro.
With the info the viewer has it is too little to judge. What actually happened we will never know.
Could have been a contender.
