The substitute teacher movie

She carries a Madewell bag. She spends too much time on her phone, in particular on Instagram, looking at their peers' dogs and kids. She's trying to get pregnant. And she is also profoundly, unrelentingly bored. Mara communicates this malaise with rote pleasantness around Zukerman's Matt and more light-hearted liveliness around Robinson's Eric; it's chilling how well Claire is able to leverage the natural authority afforded to her as a teacher to her advantage. When she lies to her husband about where she's going; when she uses praise for Eric's work in her class as a flirtation device; when she organizes a private tour for him of the college he would like to attend, of which she is an alumna. Mara is clear-eyed in both Claire's narcissism and her refusal to believe that she's doing anything wrong. She's a woman, and Eric is almost a man. She can't be the aggressor—that's not how heteronormative relationships work. And she can't be abusing him; what they have is genuine. As she tells him over and over again, Claire is putting everything on the line for Eric.

It's a transition that flirts with cliché but quickly demonstrates the kind of person Claire is: one who has long presented a sort of primness, but whose desire to break the rules is rapidly manifesting in reckless ways. An opportunity for reinvention presents itself when she starts a new job as an English teacher at Westerbrook High School and is immediately labeled by the schools' male seniors as the school's hottest employee. Perhaps it's the confidence boost from that objectification that propels her into a flirtation with her student, Eric Walker ( Nick Robinson), the soccer team captain and an aspiring doctor who is hoping for a scholarship to help get him to college. All the 17-year-old senior needs is a better SAT score, and how convenient that Ms. Wilson—he can call her Claire—is available for tutoring. In its first few episodes, "A Teacher" is deliberate in adding a hint of inappropriateness to what at first seem like innocuous interactions; Fidell, who wrote a handful of episodes and directed nearly all of them, alternates between impropriety and uncertainty to make you wonder if you're overreacting.
