Get ready for the showdown of the century! Students vs. teacher in a steel cage deathmatch to the finish! It's not for everyone, that's for sure. But for those who don't mind slow paces character studies, you're sure to find some rewarding gems in this film.

What it lacks in narrative structure, Cantet and Bégaudeau pile on in character study. More true to its documentary roots than the work of the Dardenne Brothers, and a compelling watch for anyone looking to debunk the stereotypes of the difficulties of public schools in urban metros. Expertly made, flawlessly performed, and despite its uneven narrative, it packs a true emotional punch.

If you are like me, and not a fan of tortuously boring movies, then don't see this.

Great direction. Laurent Cantet gives us a glimpse of the French educational system. The Class takes us to the painful, rewarding and joyful side of being a professor and a student in modern France, but this is nevertheless more than that - that such scenario may have happened anywhere else in the world. We also received some hints of a future that is quite unpredictable and hopefully bright.
