Leave your thoughts about The Kindergarten Teacher.
| Screen InternationalTim GriersonWriter-director Sara Colangelo’s intimate, slender drama withholds much about its main character, which allows Gyllenhaal to sketch the outline of a fractured soul. |
| Daily Mirror (UK)Lewis KnightThe whole film hinges on the performance of Maggie Gyllenhaal, who excels at selling both the protagonist's emotional choices but also how she's losing perspective on her life. |
| The GuardianJordan HoffmanThe Kindergarten Teacher is probably the only movie about poetry with an ending as tense as any thriller. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian Tallerico[Maggie] Gyllenhaal, appearing in every single scene of the film, gives a completely committed, three-dimensional performance. |
| TheWrapElizabeth WeitzmanAnyone with some patience and a penchant for thoughtful ambiguity will find more than enough rewards here, from Gyllenhaal’s intelligent performance to Colangelo’s empathetic insight. True, it’s not always an easy movie to sit through. But the impact of Lisa’s plight lingers long after her fate’s been sealed. |
| The WeekCandice FrederickAll too often white feminism, as portrayed on the silver screen, highlights female complexity at the detriment of non-white characters. The Kindergarten Teacher is, unfortunately, no exception. |
| Quelle MoviesRaquel StecherIt's beautiful, poetic, disturbing and horrifying all at once |
| The GateAndrew ParkerThe Kindergarten Teacher is a delicate sort of film, and it's one of the year's most disarming dramatic experiences. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerOne of those movies with a terrific premise left unfulfilled. |
| Vanity FairK. Austin CollinsYou may want to watch it through your fingers at times-but that would require taking your eyes off of Gyllenhaal. Per usual, she makes that impossible. |
