What people are saying
Updated nightlySaoirse Ronan is the main reason to watch this. She carries the whole thing as Maria, a teacher pushed to extremes by a violent student, with a performance that's basically flawless. The story about a community turning a blind eye is solid and has some sharp, original humor, but it moves way too slow for a lot of people. When it drags, you're just waiting for Ronan to get back on screen.
