This uplifting comedy tells the story of Linda Sinclair (Julianne Moore) - a forty-year-old unmarried English teacher whose greatest relationships are with her favorite authors and stories. When a disheartened former student moves back into town after failing to make it as a playwright in New York, Linda decides to step out of her comfort zone and mount his play with the help of the high school drama teacher.

Julianne Moore plays a very solitary teacher who has a lot of sensitivity. She tries to vent it in the play of her former student, who otherwise has no chance of succeeding. She decides to present his rather controversial play as a high school drama. It is a comedy that is not very funny, a drama that is too trivialized, and moreover, it is all surprisingly predictable. When I watched Julianne Moore, I felt like she could even handle the role of Mason Verger in "Hannibal". It may not be very flattering, but I still like that woman. She just shouldn't wear her hair pinned up.
