Reminds me of a teacher that took me to the carnival in 2nd grade when my family did not have any money. She was always kind to me. 💕

Inspirational but it’s not for everyone. A little bit of violence content.

Super boring. Wasted 2 hours. Better time could have spent cleaning the gutters.

This is a beautiful film about the power of not giving up on people who screw up. The love we give to others may burn us, but we can’t give up on people. There is so much power in our capacity to care about others than there is to live selfishly. Great story and beautiful…

The movie is a beautiful reminder of how your sincere kindness can influence troubled youth to become true success stories. We should all have a teacher like Stan Deen, to lead our high school students.

Fortunately, Brave the Dark does deliver an engaging and enjoyable narrative, with excellent performances, an intriguing and compelling plot, and an important message worth listening to.

Harris, as always, imbues his characters with a wearied conviction, which goes a long way towards making Stan feel a bit more layered than the feel-good Ned Flanders type the script saddles him with.

It’s a low-stakes, dramatically flat affair, a picture that never plucks the heartstrings it’s meant to.
