La clase

Sjældent har det været så underholdende at være tilbage på skolebænken igen.

...en ruggigt stark skildring av grupptrycket, av lärare som väljer att inte se, av en verklighet som är alldeles för vanlig.

The kinetic and perceptive realism of The Class puts to shame the entire field of schoolroom dramas and makes the movie seem more like an acutely observed Frederick Wiseman documentary than any up-the-down-staircase melodrama.

It is about the power struggle between a teacher who wants to do good and students who disagree about what "good" is. The film is so fair that neither side is seen as right, and both seem trapped by futility.
