Eye-opening and frustrating. Also depressing for the most part. Sure it gives a glimmer of hope on how we can tackle the education problem, but the fact that this solution applies to so few kids right now is disheartening. I also liked how the movie didn't really pick any sides politically. It basically said that the whole system is effed, and they're probably right.
