    Monsieur Lazhar Review

    4.5/5
    In the hands of a less talented and ambitious writer Monsieur Lazhar would have ended up looking strikingly like a more serene version of School of Rock. Both films centre on a teacher who is not really a teacher and what he can do to improve the lives of the children in his class. Aside [...]
