In een Mexicaanse grensstad geplaagd door verwaarlozing, corruptie en geweld probeert een gefrustreerde leraar een radicaal nieuwe methode om de apathie van zijn leerlingen te doorbreken en hun nieuwsgierigheid, hun potentieel... en misschien zelfs hun genialiteit te ontsluiten.
Where to Watch Radical
- ord68019 augustus 2025Fascinating story based on real life people. It brings out Mexican poverty, corruption, alternate methods of teaching, and many other topics. While this story is based on real people, some of the stories are generalized and some of the characters are added but could still depict situations in a border town.
- Kevin Ward3 juli 2025Though it follows a pretty standard inspirational teacher drama template, Eugenio Derbez’s performance has enough charisma and charm to transform the overly familiar plot into a heartwarming crowd pleaser. Winner of the Festival Favorite Award at the 2023 Sundance and deservedly so as it’s probably one of my favorite dramas of the fest. It has a traumatic turn in the last act that feels rather out of place with the rest of the film. It is based on a true story though, so I can’t fault it too much for it’s inclusion if it in fact happened as depicted. Really enjoyable watch, though. The child actors gave impressive performances and really work to get you emotionally invested in the school. Jennifer Trejo’s Paloma in particular was delightful. Worth checking out.
