An idealistic and passionate literature teacher in a suburban Brussels school becomes the target of intense hostility from students and colleagues tied to Islamic extremism when she chooses to help a teenage Muslim girl accused of homosexuality.
Good film, but heavy: there aren't many respite scenes. Lubna Azabal is truly excellent. Good game also from Kenza Benboutcha who presents a very nuanced game. It's hard-hitting, but the subject is not treated much differently from several other films dealing with the same subject released in recent years, except, perhaps, the time taken to expose the sociological thoughts of the protagonists. Jawad Rhalib's production aims to be overwhelming, shocking, instructive and awareness-raising: it is successful. One thing is certain: we wouldn't want to be in this class. It is a film that must be seen by as many people as possible, in the hope that individuals in our current society are not locked into a speech of the deaf.
