THE KINDERGARTEN TEACHER FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION) is a thought-provoking film that showcases the incredible talent of Maggie Gyllenhaal in the lead role. Released in 2018, this gripping drama was directed by Sara Colangelo and is a remake of the 2014 Israeli film of the same name. The narrative delves into the complexities of creativity, ambition, and moral boundaries, making it a significant entry in contemporary cinema.
Gyllenhaal plays the role of Lisa Spinelli, a kindergarten teacher who becomes increasingly disillusioned with her mundane life and the educational environment around her. As she encounters a gifted young student, Jimmy, who spontaneously creates beautiful and profound poetry, she becomes obsessed with nurturing his talent. This passionate pursuit leads her down a morally ambiguous path, which raises questions about the role of a teacher and the boundaries of inspiration.
The film intricately explores themes of obsession, identity, and the sacrifices one makes in the name of art. As Lisa's fixation on Jimmy escalates, the storyline challenges viewers to consider the ethics of artistic influence and the potential consequences of a teacher's ambitions for their student. With a compelling performance from Gyllenhaal, who received widespread acclaim for her portrayal, the film invites nuanced discussions on personal versus professional responsibilities.
The script, notably powerful and engaging, is crafted with precision, drawing the audience into Lisa's inner turmoil. Gyllenhaal's performance shines as she navigates the character's emotional struggles with authenticity and depth. The cinematography further adds to the film's impact, capturing both the vibrant energy of a classroom and the quieter, more introspective moments that characterize Lisa's personal life.
In addition to its critical success, the film also prompts discussions on the importance of creative expression and the delicate balance between encouragement and exploitation. It raises essential questions about the role of educators in cultivating talent and the responsibilities that come with it.
The film culminates in a powerful climax that forces Lisa—and the audience—to confront the consequences of her actions, leading to a heartbreaking yet thought-provoking resolution. THE KINDERGARTEN TEACHER not only emphasizes the dreams of a gifted child but also the darker side of aspiration, making it a significant cultural commentary.
As a significant work in Gyllenhaal's oeuvre, THE KINDERGARTEN TEACHER stands out as a remarkable film that challenges conventional narratives surrounding education and artistry. It continues to resonate with viewers, promoting reflection on the implications of mentorship and the often thin line between inspiration and exploitation.
Overall, this film is a must-watch for those interested in narratives that provoke thought and discussion about the intersections of teaching, creativity, and the human condition.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
