Absolutely loved it (though to say you "love" a movie like this is rough) - just a lot of harrowing experiences/relationships highlighting the toil of life.
Adrien Brody stars (and was great) as a substitute teacher in a Chicago school system. Great performances all around, and halfway through I checked to see how much time was left in the movie because I didn't want it to end.

Watched this tonight on your review. In a word, it's "heavy." So much real life, so much emotion. Very artistic, philosophical and gritty. I was very surprised at the actors/actresses in it. Solid movie.
