You may like this if you want a serious, emotionally intense coming-of-age drama about a taboo teacher-student relationship, with moral ambiguity and heavy themes; Not for you if you want light romance or clear comfort like Dawson's Creek.

Pros: thought-provoking coming-of-age; strong performances; emotionally affecting | Cons: disturbing power imbalance; uneven pacing; runs a bit long
