Synopsis

A struggling primary school teacher begins to make some questionable decisions after one of her students is injured.
Moviegoers are saying
This provocative dark comedy starring Saoirse Ronan has audiences deeply divided, with viewers praising its wickedly satirical take on 'Broken Britain' while being disturbed by its unflinching examination of moral compromise. The film transforms from what seems like a teacher stress comedy into something far more unsettling about parental neglect and societal decay.

    Really good. Made the audience laugh out loud which I find to be quite rare these days. Surprising twists and turns! Slightly disappointed with the ending.
