Critic Reviews of "The Class"
Film.comAugust 23, 2009But ultimately it's a fascinating, sometimes exhilarating movie that seems to make a genuine contact with the classroom, and shows us an educational system struggling, and managing, to survive.
indieWireAugust 08, 2009Cantet's film lulls the spectator into the rhythms of the everyday reality of school, belying a very carefully coordinated narrative structure that only becomes apparent in its final act.
Chicago ReaderMarch 13, 2009Most impressive, Cantet tracks the racial and ethnic resentments that simmer beneath the classroom discussions but become harder to quell when the parents get involved.
Orlando SentinelMarch 04, 2009The Class, an Oscar-nominated French film about a Paris middle school, should be required viewing for anybody considering a career in teaching.
Detroit NewsFebruary 27, 2009The fact that it's based on a book written by a former teacher who also stars in the film gives it more than a bit of authenticity
Denver PostFebruary 27, 2009These kids aren't always all right. But they are consistently riveting.
Critic's NotebookOctober 07, 2015What most critics probably aren't telling you about in their expectedly lavish praises of the film is its stereotypical and downright patronizing portrayal of race and ethnicity.
The NationNovember 24, 2014As you watch this exhilarating back-and-forth, it dawns on you that an ethically complex, emotionally troubling plot has taken shape; and you realize, with astonishment, that Cantet waited an hour to let it emerge.
Reel Film ReviewsJanuary 03, 2014...the sort of film that one admires more than one enjoys...
DeadspinJune 22, 2013You will be sporadically moved by The Class, and maybe even inspired. You will also feel overpowering despair. But mostly: You will want to hug anyone who has ever, ever been a schoolteacher.
ReelTalk Movie ReviewsFebruary 23, 2010Seems to question the continued effectiveness of an old teaching approach and its ability to adapt to new problems as well as modern variations of old ones.
Orlando WeeklyDecember 17, 2009In the tidiest pitch-speak, it's the Dardennes do Degrassi, a convincingly intimate glimpse at the epic battle waged against apathy in schools the world over.
