If you loved School Ties, try The Substitute
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Robert Mandel, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to School Ties, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Substitute is
A ninth-period classroom, late fall, the hum of a broken fluorescent tube. A teacher leaves school in a wheelchair after her knee is destroyed by a student’s baseball bat. Her ex-special forces lover enrolls as a substitute, replacing his rifle with a gradebook. A Tarantino-worthy body count lands in the teacher’s lounge—final bell rings too late.
