Fellag, a prominent Algerian actor now working in exile in France, imbues the compassionate, indomitably cheerful Bachir Lazhar with a deep humanity.   Equally the French-Canadian director elicits excellent performances from the children.   

..... a serious, unsentimental film of real insight into loss, grief, guilt, exile and the true meaning of education.  Some teachers will learn from it.   All teachers will find it a reaffirmation of their vocation.  Philip French
