VANCOUVER \/ March 7, 2019:<\/em>Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc. (TSXV:TBRD) (\u201cThunderbird\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), a global multiplatform entertainment company, is pleased to announce that its releasing division, Thunderbird Releasing, will be distributingSara Colangelo\u2019s award-winning drama The Kindergarten Teacher<\/em>, across the UK and Ireland. Following its UK debut at the 2018 London Film Festival, the film arrives in theatres on Friday, March 8, 2019. The film will open in key venues in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dublin and various others across the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n

The Kindergarten Teacher<\/em>is being supported by Birds\u2019 Eye View, a UK-based agency campaigning for gender equality in film; as part of the Reclaim The Frame<\/em>series, which is dedicated to highlighting films by women to build a more balanced film future. With International Women\u2019s Day around the corner on March 8, the film\u2019s release has special significance as part of the day\u2019s celebration of the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women around the world.<\/p>\n

Starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and Gael Garcia Bernal, the dramatic film focuses on a teacher who discovers her young student (Parker Sevak) may be a poetic prodigy, and goes to extraordinary lengths to nurture his talent. Written and directed by Colangelo, the film scooped the U.S Dramatic Directing prize at the Sundance Film Festival in 2018, amid fierce competition from Bo Burnham, Paul Dano and Boots Riley, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re hugely proud to be staging this significant theatrical release of Sara Colangelo\u2019s remarkable film, The Kindergarten Teacher,<\/em>with an arguably career best performance from Maggie Gyllenhaal,\u201d says Edward Fletcher, Managing Director of Thunderbird Releasing. \u201cResponses to the film from the theatres and critics alike have been fantastic and we\u2019re delighted to be able to share it with audiences across the UK & Ireland.\u201d<\/p>\n

Early reviews for the film are overwhelmingly positive, with Jordan Hoffman of the Guardian calling it a \u201cbrilliantly observed ethical pretzel\u201d<\/em>and Tim Grierson of Screen International calling Maggie Gyllenhaal\u2019s performance \u201csuperbly enigmatic.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
