I thought this was well worth seeing, and sure it could of had a million things added. The movie focuses on particular aspects, and in doing so. does well. This is a story of the heart over riding the mind, it's emotional roller coaster and somewhat about consequences. The relationship is not glamorized, and the sex could of easily been more gratuitous. The point is made, but not more than it has to be. I wasn't familiar with these actors, but they were all very good. I found the teacher (Lindsay Burdge) beautiful and compelling as an actress. I think some viewers may feel something is lacking, in that an emphasis wasn't placed on our teacher having an inability to have normal adult relationships. We see a woman who is nuanced, her relationships with other adults seems to be not particularly good or bad. This diagnosis or stereotype is not what the movie is about, though we do see the stress in her struggle in knowing things are wrong.........

HORRIBLE!! Horrible acting, Horrible Script, Horrible Plot! I ALWAYS check ratings before I watch a movie, IMDb hasn't let me down yet! & Normally I don't waste my time if a movie isn't AT LEAST a 6, but I thought, "I do love a good student/teacher affair". Oh my lord was I wrong! I didn't even expect much coming into it as it was clearly low budget, so to disappoint my already low expectations.This was SOOOO very clearly actors, from the lack of chemistry, the robotic way they spoke, and the unrealism of it ALL, such as a bad ass high school student that sleeps with his teacher saying the phrase "Oh Fudge". I have been disappointed by a fair share of movies, but this has just made it to my top ten let downs. I wouldn't waste your time with it. What a shame.

I agree with the negative posters so far, that this was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It is 75 minutes, and could have been five minutes. Before the movie, I figured the most interesting part would be learning how the two started to hook up. Well, you have no idea and they are just hooking up from the second scene in the movie. Then, what is up with the scene about her family? Early in the movie there is the short scene with her brother and he mentions that her Mom clearly has some sort of illness that has affected her brain. Diana just gets this terrified look on her face and leaves. She had also mentioned her Mom in the first "hook up" scene, so you figure this will be a second story line. Nope. It is like the writer had that idea and then said, "Nah. Let's just forget about the family part." The rest of the movie is basically the same thing over and over again. With some completely random background music that would be more fitting for a B horror film. Then at the end she laughs, cries, and officially goes crazy. That could have happened in scene 1 and the reason I said it could have been five minutes long. The only reason I gave this a 2 and not a 1 is the Ms. English teacher had a good body and there is slight nudity.

this subject is not new its been done on TV and films more then many times we all know but this time director Hannah Fidell takes tries one more shot to tell the story in a different way but sadly it fails only delivers good performances as the characters and the plot is not well written the actors did there best to save this project.the plot:a high school teacher Diana and her student have an affair no one knows about them they slowly try to fall for each other but is it love,infatuation,lust or something else that is driving this relationship.the characters,story & almost everything is half written to be honest here i have to say this film is incomplete its done on purpose only to show emotions of Diana through the film what she is going through but what about the guy and a Little story off course id does have few smooching scenes but please it wont be enough.the cast:OK Lindsay Burdge is the only leading lady who was acting rest actors were in for the money only.overall my rating for A Teacher 2013 is 3/10 its a film worth watching only for some good acting as the script is written badly,so see it only if you like Lindsay Burdge otherwise stay away and Skipp it.
