A strange one. <em>'The Kindergarten Teacher'</em> does an impressive job at making the situations portrayed uncomfortable, like I was literally cringing all the way through - and I mean that in a good way. I'm not entirely convinced it lands completely, but I did like watching it all play out an ... d Maggie Gyllenhaal puts in a superb performance. It gets 8/10 thanks to Mags.
