Half Nelson - Ryan Gossling is the lead, and he has been nominated for best actor. He's great, and Shareeka Epps in very good in her first real role (well, she played the same character in the short film that the movie is based off).
It's a very good movie, definitely a unique take on the "teacher trying to actually make a difference" motif in the regard that there are no perfect characters and it's not paint-by-numbers.
Well worth seeing.
4 out of 5, definite thumbs up
edit: a small bonus for and fans of The Wire, the actors who play Donut and Michael in season 4 have minor roles.
