Monsieur Lazhar

...a film as believably wrenching, and finally cathartic, as the grieving process itself.

...a potent mix of coming-of-age saga, bereavement melodrama and political parable.

This sweet, soulful drama plays out to the scrape of desks and the echo of voices...

This French-Canadian drama and its elegant study of grief, guilt, and recovery goes places that few films dare go.

'Monsieur Lazhar' er fyldt med mange rørende scener og instruktionen er udført med stor sans og forståelse for hverdagsrealismen som fortælleform.

...kan fremkalde tårer hos selv det mest koldhjertede, børnehadende publikum.
