Believe

Once again we are exposed to the world of teaching. A teacher decided to teach a group of kids and inspire them to learn how to think and dream. He will reach inside their souls and awaken that which drives humans to dream and find a way to believe their dreams can come true.

What I liked about the film is how well I portrays the sad conditions of this school, reflecting the state of education and all the blocks that are put in the office wy or students success. Mr. Juarez is an idealist and a dreamer,.a good man who might make a.difference in people's lives.

Unfortu lolnately, there are those who because of society's ills will not achieve thei dreams and.the picture doesn't hide thei situations. Their dreams end tragically. In the end it will be hard not to cry while watching the final act of the film. Enjoy, learn and believe.

I DID NOT EXPECT FOR THIS TO BE A TEARJERKER

I just saw this Film at AMC palm 24 Early Access here in the USA, and it was Funny, Interesting, Intelligent and Heartbreaking. This film is based on a the true story in Mexico. This film almost reminds me of Freedom Writers directed by Richard LaGravenese, released in 2007.

Ever since the Sundance Film Festival acknowledged this film I was very interested knowing Eugenio Dernez was in it. I saw his film "Instructions not Included" 2013, and also "La Familia Peluche" which was a Sitcom in Mexico which had a 10 year run time and he made me feel so Nostalgic to see him again in the Big Screen.

To the OSCARS, Consider this a Candidate for Best Foreign Language Film and a Candidate for Eugenio Dernez as Best Actor!

Run to watch this film.

I could not remember when was the last time I saw a film, where it made me laugh, made me cry, made me angry, and made me gasp. "Radical" is a must-see. Without any spoilers, a lot of heart went into this masterpiece, ranging from the talent, to the cinematography, to the direction, the casting, the production design of the environment... it was glorious to experience. There is a reason why this was a winner at Sundance. It deserved it. It's based on a true story. And you follow each individual's journey, how they are affected in their own lives, and how they affect others with their existence. It also reveals the constant problems we have with the education system, or lack of, or limitations of, or what is allowed, and what is not allowed in order to progress. The writing of the screenplay is just brilliant. I don't wish to spoil anything, just watch it. Experience it.
