Radical (2023) (12)

Christopher Zalla


Based on true events, powerful, heartwarming drama, Radical does a terrific job of highlighting the importance of dedicated teachers. Sixth grade students at Jose Urbina Lopez Elementary are among the worst performing students in Mexico, with their world one of violence and hardship, not possibility. It might seem like a dead end, but it's the perfect place for new teacher Sergio Juarez to try something different.

Starring Eugenio Derbez, Daniel Haddad, Jennifer Trejo


Flicks Advisor (comments from our film promoters)

Excellent. Great energy from the lead actor and the kids were superb. Most of the audience were really engaged by this film, a few commented that it veered towards sentimentality in places.
