Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

ozjosh03 This is a sweet little movie, deceptively simple and light, yet with some surprising hidden depths. It's deftly written and directed, but what really sets it apart are the performances, in particular a beautifully judged star turn by Timothy Chalamet as Billy, a depressed teen, off his meds and surrendering to a crush on his English teacher while on a weekend away for a drama competition. Chalamet is by turns charming, funny, unsettling, heart-breaking and, when delivering a monologue from Death of a Salesman, simply dazzling. It's a charismatic, nuanced, confident portrayal that proves his Oscar-nominated performance in Call Me By Your Name was no fluke. They could have re-named the movie "Billy" and nobody would have thought anything amiss.

Dominik528 Based on how I loved Timothée Chalamet's performance in Call Me by Your Name, I decided to watch this as soon as I found it on Netflix. And here, he stars alongside actresses from American Horror Story (Lily Rabe) and Riverdale (Lili Reinhart). While Call Me by Your Name was touching, I don't know, something about Miss Stevens hit me even harder. Maybe it's because I've never necessarily experienced love and heartbreak like Elio Perlman did; I found myself feeling sorrier for Billy, because he's a young teen suffering from depression, and there's this scene - without giving much away - where he tells Stevens, who he's formed a bit of a connection with, how his medication just makes him feel numb, but has been feeling great for the whole weekend. I also happen to adore stories in which teachers bond with their students. This has pretty much cemented my love for indie films. Also, I actually thought that Billy and Rachel were going to become romantically involved, and was ready to join in on the meme by saying: "Gee, Timothée! How come your mom lets you have two older partners?"

hjt15 Miss Stevens is a mediocre movie with some nice moments but has an air of itchiness about it. What I mean by that is that it doesn't stand alone as a narrative. You are always waiting for something to happen. Itching for something scandalous. Lily Rabe manages to hold a very controlled and uptight character throughout and you can feel her internal struggles as she navigates the reality that she's responsible for these 3 kids she's chaperoning. I resonate with that moment where you realise you're an adult but you just don't feel it. But sadly it just wasn't quite enough for me. Just too bland and the performance weren't quite strong enough to make them believable. Watchable but not memorable.

zif ofoz As the synopsis states this movie is about a teacher who chaperons a group of three high school students to a state drama competition. That's just the opening page, so much more happens during these two days the four characters are with each other.An adult and three teens experience a walk through their own personal drama while participating in a drama competition. The English teacher Miss Stevens (Lily Rabe) is dealing with the recent death of her mother and her feeling of loneliness, Billy (Timothée Chalamet) is dealing with his personal depression and the meds he is forced to take, Margot (Lili Reinhart) is discovering her real call in life through her attempt at acting, and Sam (Anthony Quintal) is looking to find love and fun.The main focus of the story is of course is Miss Stevens as she strives to handle her own private life while trying to bring direction and focus to her students. The problem is direction and focus is minimal in her own life. Billy obviously has a crush on her and it's left unclear if Miss Stevens actually realizes this but she opens her soul to him. Billy misinterprets this into thinking she's interested in him. Billy has stopped his meds. Margot learns her talent, by failing at acting, that she is great at organizing as she is the only one that was able to get the school to fund the trip. The wild card is Sam because he knows who he is and just wants to find that special friend.At movies end everyone returns to the school and is met by their family. Each student has had a real learning and personal growth experience. We see Miss Stevens standing alone by her automobile watching them leave - just what did her experience with these students meant to her and has it actually changed anything in her life?
