The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 19, 2018. It was released on October 12, 2018, by Netflix in the United States and Canada.
Forty years old, stuck in Staten Island and married to a sweet but oblivious husband with kids that largely ignore her, Lisa Spinelli spends her days teaching Kindergarten with growing numbness. Her one reprieve is a nighttime poetry class across the bay in Lower Manhattan. When she discovers that a five-year-old in her class may be a poetic prodigy, Lisa becomes fascinated--then obsessed, as she struggles to protect him from neglectful parents and a plagiarizing babysitter. She soon finds herself risking her career, family and freedom to nurture his artistic promise.

confident je panggil i dek? u tau ke umur i brape?..
haha..biase la kadang2 tu nak tonton kisah2 filem genre dark & disturbing..
kalau watak2 cikgu serba serbi sempurna..dgn life yg sempurna..& anak murid yg perfect...sape la nk tgk..
Oh my gosh! so good..manja bg 7/10. X pernah tgk lg filem mcm ni. Cume part ending tu u all kena think about her character.
Why Lisa is so unhappy & bermasalah...
Spoiler Alert!!
From my point of view watak Lisa ni dari luaran nampak normal as a mom and ade caring husband, anak2 dah besar remaja..
She is also a good kindergarten teacher, good with children...this part xde masalah...
But on a personal level, Lisa minat dgn poetry writing & baru start night class poetry..
Husband baik siap bg support walaupun cikgu poetry x minat dgn hasil karya Lisa..even classmates pun x suke..
Nk pendekkan cerita, I rs Lisa ni masak kecik dulu..die x dpt attention & support from her own parents..most likely upbringing die childhood life was a bad one. Neglected by her parents...so sbb tu masa dh jadi mak minat sgt nak tulis poetry tp masa zaman kanak2 dulu xde sape kisah psl minat die ni jumpe pulak si kecik Jimmy yg pandai berbakat..
Slalunye la kan..cases of kids who were abused, masa dah dewasa nampak they seem to manage well, mcm normal she has a normal family life of her own..Tp the pain of the abusive experience tu terkesan & it will show in adult life..selagi x go for therapy to heal the past trauma..pain..etc...
Sbb tu Lisa clingy sgt pd jimmy i rs die teringat diri die masa kecik dulu la..that's why die obsess sgt dgn budak tu..sampai kena kidnaped.
I say emotiannaly abuse sbb masa Lisa kena kunci dlm bilik mandi, tu 1st time die sentap pd Jimmy "They will forget about u!! They will erase u!! Nobody will remember u" lebih kurang mcm tu la.
So i rs that's what her parents told her...when she was a kid....And another thing, Lisa ni simpan her secret life/dark dgn budak ni, xde pulak nak share her past life problems dgn hubby die ke sape2..la...She keeps it all to herself..
That's why in this movie, she is living 2 lives....maybe because kisah2 silam tu too painful to share...even with your own husband....
Another thing yg disturbing the way Lisa cube nak bond dgn Jimmy sgt2 pedo grooming...that's all i can say,..of course at the end pun xde la nampak in a sexual way..but still...so creepy...
chazey u nk tgk x movie ni? i bleh bg link sbb i want to know what u think of Lisa?
my 2nd opinion is i think Lisa is a PEDO!..
sbb die ade ciri2 pedo yg sgt ketara...
1) Pedos suke pekerjaan yg melibatkan Budak2...
- School Teacher
- Employee at Theme Park (Disneyland, Wetworld, Fun fair....)
- Sukarelawan Pusat Kebajikan Kanak2/Anak Yatim
2) Fit in well in society
- She has her own family & kids
- A stable job..
- A hobby- A nice home
- Financially stable
3) Grooming Phase 1Step at a Time
- Step2 pedo akan cube mendekati mangsa...
- Mula2 umpan dgn benda2 yg budak suke in this kes..Poetry
- Secret relationship..dgn Jimmy dari luaran nampak mcm nk jadikan die prodigy tp sbenarnye nak jadikan die mangsa..
- Cube sedaya upaya nak dekat dgn Jimmy...mula2 burukkan Babysitter Jimmy, then cube dpt permission ayah die utk jaga Jimmy..directly...
- Obsess sgt....bg hp no..jdi bleh contact2...terus dgn Jimmy...mintak calling2 lg...Stalker spy Jimmy kat rumah die..nak tahu die pegi tadika..baru kat mana??
- Bile Jimmy kata "Anna can be anybody you love. Anna is my kindergarten Teacher's assistant Megan"...Lisa frust giler...& nangis..sbb Jimmy x syg die..pun...
- Lepas tu die Culik Jimmy....dari tadika die...bwk lari pegi picnic at beach..mandi same2...nk bermalam kat resort tu..
- Finally nak culik die gi across borderline MEXICO...so die bleh publishkan buku poetry Jimmy kat sana..
4) Sexual Abuse..
- Dlm filem ni x sampai ke tahap tu...lagi...dah kena tangkap polis...
eh dari kite story psl pedo tu ttiber bleh pulak kluar cite Room...
actually i thought mesti bosan cite ni duduk dlm room tu je..at same time takut nk tgk Room ni sbb pernah tgk dokumentari psl budak kena culik jadi sex slave..ssampai beranak same kes la mcm kisah Brie ni..tp tu kisah benar...walaupun dah lame tgk..haunting sgt..
Sebenarnya aku belum pernah lagi tengok filem yang aku terganggu macam ni, adalah tengok filem gore yang aku memang terganggu tapi lain sikit, hat yang gore ni kadang aku skip, kadang aku tutup terus. Tapi yang ni aku tak puas hati dan banyak persoalan dalam kapla hotak aku jadi aku memang takkan skip dan nak tengok sampai habis untuk dapat jawapannya. Adakah Lisa Spinelli seorang pedofil atau cuma obsessive terhadap Jimmy disebabkan ketaksuban dia pada poetry?
