Absolutely hilarious. It is amazing that Peter Capaldi can get through his abusive rants without fainting since he doesn't seem to breathe! James Gandolfini stole the show whenever he was on screen as the astute and conflicted General. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Oddly compelling considering it is quite a slow film simply following a year in a teachers life. It is certainly no advertisement for teaching as the protagonist is constantly pushed to the limits by his pupils and by the judgemental school board.
