🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a compelling clash between progressive education and conservative values, relying on the topic of sex education as its catalyst. It explores the fragile authority of a teacher and the potent force of student solidarity.
What lingers after viewing is a candid portrait of generational defiance, questioning not just school policy but the very right to difficult conversations. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Buzz Kulik
