By continually deferring <strong>dramatic tension<\/strong>, the filmmaker puts <strong>more weight<\/strong> on the movie\u2019s <strong>closing scenes<\/strong> \u2014 which are abrupt but true to life \u2014 than they can handle. This is <strong>not<\/strong> advertised as <strong>a family movie<\/strong>, as it portrays a relationship that yields many psychological insights.<\/p>\n<h3>The story<\/h3>\n<p>This movie explores the unraveling of a high school teacher in Austin, Texas, <strong>Diana<\/strong> (Lindsay Burdge), after she <strong>begins an affair<\/strong> <strong>with<\/strong> one of her teenage students, <strong>Eric<\/strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/moveablefest.com\/moveable_fest\/2013\/09\/teacher-hannah-fidell.html\" target=\"_blank\">Will Brittain<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>What starts as a seemingly<strong> innocent fling becomes<\/strong> increasingly <strong>complex and dangerous<\/strong> as the beautiful and confident <strong>Diana<\/strong> gets fully<strong> consumed<\/strong> <strong>by her emotions<\/strong>, <strong>crossing boundaries<\/strong> and acting out in progressively startling ways. As the <strong>story progresses<\/strong>, <strong>she realizes<\/strong> what she is doing is <strong>wrong<\/strong> but still can&#8217;t let go of her obsessive love.<\/p>\n<div id=\"quote_shortcode\" class=\"sixtop-post-quote post-quote-right\" >\n<div class=\"quote-sign-box hidden-on-desktop\"><\/div>\n<p>        &ldquo; The affair that could devolve into emotional devastation &rdquo;<\/p>\n<div id=\"quote_shortcode_after\">\n        <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>So a teacher falls in love with her student.

The <strong>affair<\/strong> that could <strong>devolve<\/strong> into <strong>emotional devastation for Diana<\/strong> seems, for him, destined to remain in memory as only a particularly eventful youthful tryst.<\/p>\n<p>The film features the strong <strong>lead performance<\/strong> of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/SB10001424127887324591204579037554038137242\" target=\"_blank\">Lindsay Burdge<\/a>, who manages to keep her mostly contained performance while also holding nothing back.
