Movie #624 ........................."Monsieur Lazhar"

Movie #624 "Monsieur Lazhar" is an amazing film --- everything about it is just right! Considering that everyone is walking around on eggshells due to the subject matter, that every second of the film is full of grief, there is a lot of warmth and humor in the film. I loved it. I loved that not everything is told to you -----you have to peel off the layers of the characters and the film --- and boy, is it layered. And if you ever worked with kids, you know how deep they can be ---- esp. after a tragedy like this. I highly recommend it! Average rating: 3.925 I gave it 5 stars Monsieur Lazhar (2011) PG-13 When an Algerian immigrant seeking asylum in Montreal takes a job replacing an elementary school teacher who committed suicide, he finds that his own secret, tragic background enables him to help the children deal with their loss.
