Unexpected isn't particularly interested in driving the plot forward or holding its leads up... it just lets them live and breathe and make mistakes-not for the aim of any greater message or grand epiphanies, but because that's what people do
for a movie about surprises, though, there really aren't many... this academic study tends to feel like it's by the book
boring, but not unpleasant. Despite the thin material, teacher and student feel real enough to become emotionally invested
