Controversial but much-praised documentary on the state of children’s education in America, by the director of An Inconvenient Truth. Audience Award for best documentary at 2010 Sundance Film Festival, Best Documentary Feature at Critics’ Choice Movie Awards.
From Wikipedia: "Joe Morgenstern, writing for the Wall Street Journal, gave the movie a positive review saying, ‘when the future of public education is being debated with unprecedented intensity’ the film ‘makes an invaluable addition to the debate.’ WSJ’s William McGurn also praised the film in an op-ed piece, saying it is a ‘stunning liberal expose of a system that consigns American children who most need a decent education to our most destructive public schools.’ Kyle Smith, for the New York Post, gave the movie 4-and-a-half stars, calling it an ‘invaluable learning experience.’ Forbes Melik Kaylan similarly liked the film, writing, ‘I urge you all to drop everything and go see the documentary Waiting For Superman at the earliest opportunity’."
