Waiting for Superman (2010)

A quietly convincing documentary about the bureaucratic quagmire in which many public schools in the US are dishearteningly lodged.

Eye-opening if you are not often in or around public schools, depressingly familiar if you are.

Generally solid but goes a tiny bit overboard sometimes, most notably while painting the teachers unions with a suspiciously wide (and demonizing) brush, and using too many cutesy animated scenes.

Overall, good information, important message. Decent delivery.

Go ahead and watch it!
