During a weekend trip to a drama competition with three students, a high-school English teacher discovers that coming of age stories are not just for teenagers and the messiness of youth never really goes away.
Miss Stevens is a moving comedy-drama that works in concert with the habitual expectations of the audience to weave a tale that's run-through with absolute truth.
Hart imbues the film with both a natural visual harmony, as well as the simplicity of a lasting message: There are no easy answers when dealing with the complexities of other human beings.
It acknowledges that the best versions of ourselves are often written-sometimes by the hand of other people-when we're not looking, when a third-act plot twist jerks the wheel left.
Acknowledges that the boundary between instructor and charge is a necessary but complicated one, especially when messy, needy, well-meaning human beings are on both sides of that line.
Hart manages to capture those uniquely intimate and complicated friendships that crop up between teachers and students... Rabe does a masterful job of conveying Miss Stevens' fragility.
