There's been any number of movies before about inspirational teachers working in schools in deprived areas, and some of them are classics. But in none of them until now has the teacher been brilliant, committed - and also struggling with a drug problem. This intense, compelling film is built around two extraordinary performances - from Ryan Gosling as the teacher who is intelligent, dedicated and yet at the same time a complete personal disaster, and from Shareeka Epps as the student who becomes his friend.
