Radical
2024; Mexico (subtitles); 125 mins; Cert 12A; Dir: Christopher Zalla
Set in 2011 in a violent and deprived Mexican border town, the film is the true story of an innovative teacher trying a radical approach to unlock his students' potential in one of the country's worst-performing schools. His success is uplifting but the film is honest about the capacity of best intentions to transcend dire adversity and how exceptional is the child who breaks free. The non-professional, child actors give refreshing, naturalistic performances and Eugenio Derbez is tremendous as their teacher.
