The English Teacher is a 2013 comedy-drama film directed by Craig Zisk and stars Julianne Moore, Michael Angarano, Greg Kinnear, and Lily Collins. The film follows Linda Sinclair, a high school English teacher in small-town Pennsylvania, who leads a quiet and uneventful life until one of her former students, Jason Sherwood, returns to town after failing as a playwright in New York City.
Linda is thrilled to have Jason back in her life and is determined to help him succeed by producing his play at the school. However, she quickly realizes that his play is highly inappropriate for high school and faces opposition from both the school administration and Jason's father, a wealthy businessman who disapproves of his son's artistic pursuits.
As Linda becomes more and more invested in Jason's play, her own personal life begins to unravel. She has a seemingly perfect boyfriend, but is drawn to Jason's youthful energy and passion for writing. She also faces unexpected challenges from her parents, who want her to move back home and settle down.
The English Teacher is a poignant exploration of the struggles of adulthood, the power of literature, and the complicated relationships between teachers and students. It is a smart and funny film that strikes a delicate balance between comedy and drama, and features a standout performance from Julianne Moore as Linda.
