User's Review and Ratings Back to top

Inspring teacher's day or anti-drug movie?

What I loved most: When teacher (in the middle of sex-drug fest) meets student (delivering the goods)

Ryan Gosling delivers yet another powerful performance after The Notebook. Credible acting all-round from the cast and meaningful storyline on the contradictions of a pot-smoking teacher and his student. Unfortunately, this movie is only screened on a limited number of screens and not a typical "blockbuster". It is a breath of fresh air to be able to watch a movie without all the sex, violence and Cg effects. This is a movie driven only by acting, storyline and emotions - truly depicting human relationships.
