IMDb plot summary: A 20-something supervising staff member of a residential treatment facility navigates the troubled waters of that world alongside her co-worker and longtime boyfriend.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. Starring Brie Larson, John Gallagher Jr., Stephanie Beatriz, and Rami Malek.
This is one of those films that I feel digging under my skin and getting to me years from now. It's an astonishingly good series of performances from everyone involved, but especially Brie Larson, and it hits home as a teacher, even though most of my students are not in these situations. There's a beautiful amount of nuance in this script as well, touching on a lot of different themes and how our past can affect how we deal with those themes. Just a really solid drama.
