Detachment (2011)
Directed by Tony Kaye
this film features a large cast including Adrien Brody, Christina
Hendricks, Lucy Lui, James Caan and Marcia Gay Harden. A substitute
teacher arrives at a failing school while dealing with his dying
grandfather and a teenage prostitute.
A lot of the ground in
this film is already well trodden but the film does a good job of
presenting the issues facing teachers in struggling areas. While the
script does show case the setting well it could have done with a bit
more plot to fill out the film. One thing I did dislike about the
film is some of the camera work has a tendency towards annoying
wobbly cam and strange edits for no particular reason.
3/5
