Maggie Gyllenhaal is a treasure, she is always knocking out great performances, and this is one of her bests. It has meat for her to sink her teeth into. This is a simple yet creepy film, it pushes boundaries, not only in terms of what to do for your art, stealing, or trying to expand ones talent, kidnapping, but showing how lines gets crossed so easily in schools. For all of us that have joked about "Wishing a hot teacher had boned us" no, this film shows how it is, creepy. Granted there isn't a sexual undertone on her part, but it does have plenty of inappropriate moments that could be suggested as such. Maggie forgoes some doggy style sex with her husband to talk on the phone to a 6 year old, she takes a 6 year old to a bathroom, and out of class plenty of times, she takes him of of the city twice. I mean, i'd still fuck Maggie, but damn if she wouldn't creep me out, but then again, crazy chicks are my m.o. As far as Netflix movies go, this is one of the better options from the year.
