Quick review:: Maggie Gyllenhaal stars as a struggling single mom who organizes a parent takeover of the failing school where her daughter goes, and where Viola Davis – a once great teacher who has lost her passion and purpose – works. The two team up, and the Pittsburgh school system (and teachers union) will never be the same again. "Inspired by actual events."
