Console best movie i've ever seen.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

MovieBuffMarine Illicit student-teacher sexual relationships have probably been happening for a long time. In the last few decades, it's been hitting the headlines every so often. While "A Teacher" does not depict or is based on any of those headlined events, it shows how it (illicit relationship) goes about.H.S. Teacher Diane Watts (Lindsay Burdge) is in a relationship with her student, Eric Tull (Will Brittain). After the first few establishing scenes, it shows our couple "getting into it." The movie continues on as does their relationship.Diane's brother comes into town. From their conversation, it is clear there is something going on with their mother and other issues back home. Diane seems reluctant to talk about or face those problems and (afterwards) they are never talked about in the rest of the film.Thus we have Diane's problems; as the film goes on it is safe to say she had some psychological problems which are never explained. Whatever Diane's brother indicated, is probably what was bugging Diane and affected her. All we can surmise are those said problems probably led to her affair with Eric. It would have been nice to see how the relationship came to being, but even that is not explained.As things start to turn for worse in the relationship, Diane's emotional problems start to take over her thinking abilities and all does not bode well for her.I echo all who said in their reviews that character development was lacking; add on to that, back story. While in my opinion, the characters were played well along with the (short) story, a little more explanation why Diane was the way she was and how they decided to have the relationship would have helped.I enjoyed this short indie film, but even indie films can use more detail to their characters and story.

CourtneyBW HORRIBLE!! Horrible acting, Horrible Script, Horrible Plot! I ALWAYS check ratings before I watch a movie, IMDb hasn't let me down yet! & Normally I don't waste my time if a movie isn't AT LEAST a 6, but I thought, "I do love a good student/teacher affair". Oh my lord was I wrong! I didn't even expect much coming into it as it was clearly low budget, so to disappoint my already low expectations.This was SOOOO very clearly actors, from the lack of chemistry, the robotic way they spoke, and the unrealism of it ALL, such as a bad ass high school student that sleeps with his teacher saying the phrase "Oh Fudge". I have been disappointed by a fair share of movies, but this has just made it to my top ten let downs. I wouldn't waste your time with it. What a shame.

tomsview I found this movie quite compelling. Like watching an accident about to happen, it's hard to avert your eyes.A teacher is having an affair with one of her students. The movie doesn't really set anything up for us; we join the drama as the affair is in full flight. The couple tryst secretly in his house when his parents are out, and in her place when her flatmate is out or simply in a car, despite the fact that no matter the claims of manufacturers for the performance of their vehicles, automobiles have never been designed for comfortable sex.It's an odd affair, but we sense that the teacher, Diana Watts, played by Lindsay Burdge, doesn't handle responsibility well – the responsibility of having a proper grown-up affair with its attendant commitment, and she certainly isn't facing up to her responsibilities as a teacher. We learn that she is also abandoning some responsibility regarding her mother – a pattern of behaviour emerges.Diana has such an attractive and grounded look that it comes as a surprise when the relationship unravels and so does she. It's a very believable performance and we feel her pain – self-induced though it is.The student, Eric Tull, played by Will Brittain, seems such a callow and somewhat fickle youth that his appeal to Diana obviously lay just outside the frame; she seems so much more mature and self-possessed. I think the real shock in the film comes in the role reversal about three quarters of the way through. In the beginning, Diana controls the pace of the affair, with Eric always left wanting more, but by the end he is over her, and she can't handle the rejection. The movie ends without a definite resolution, but we suspect that Diana's career in teaching is also about to end.I don't mind a movie that leaves things a bit obscure, and refuses to spoon feed the audience with obvious answers and situations – as long as it is done with style. "A Teacher" takes a fresh approach to a subject that has featured before; it gets you in, and doesn't overstay its welcome.

Breezy Rex One of the dumbest movies I have ever seen, I wouldn't waste your time if I were you. There's really no beginning or end. The plot was good, but there were no details, just when it started getting good it was over! I didn't even know if this was a high school student for starters because all they say is freshmen, I was thinking college. They don't explain anything regarding the teacher, how the affair even came about, or anything useful for that matter. This movie could have had potential, but it went nowhere. The only thing I would have to say about it that's good is the directing. Good camera quality. Lets hope they come up with something better!
