(1 - 6) of 6 OFCS Rating: 50% Rotten Page   1   "This small, contemporary Czech marvel showcases two bright talents and a sentiment not seen often enough on screen nowadays: sincerity."   european-films.net   Boyd van Hoeij "A beautifully shot, would-be-penetrating drama about a closeted teacher in a small Czech village falls victim to a wandering plot and muffled characterizatio"   Film Journal International   Chris Barsanti 3/5 "A psychosexual rebirth occurs in a pastoral setting strewn with hay and intriguing links between human sexuality and insect behavior."   Boxoffice Magazine   John P. McCarthy 2/6 "If great movies resulted purely from wizardly technical displays, then Czech writer-director Bohdan Sláma’s The Country Teacher would be a masterpiece to give Béla Tarr pause."   Time Out New York   Keith Uhlich 2/4 "Bohdan Sláma's direction for The Country Teacher, a film characterized by beautifully long, languorous takes, has an assured expressiveness that's at odds with the story's bumpy narrative."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 7/10 "The actors are interesting rather than glamorous, their acting style consistently low-key, and their triumphs and failures realized on a human rather than grandiose scale."   Playback:stl   Sarah Boslaugh  (1 - 6) of 6 OFCS Rating: 50% Rotten Page   1
