You'll like this film if you favor movies like "Dead Poets Society"

It's a drama/mystery that takes the setting of "Dead Poets Society" (1989), albeit in the modern day, and adds elements seen in later films, like "Snow Angels" (2007), "Coming Through the Rye" (2015) and "The Drowning" (2016). If you favor these types of flicks you'll appreciate this one. While not on the level of "Dead Poets" and "Snow Angels," it's not too far behind.

Burns is a Ben Affleck lookalike and makes for a quality protagonist while Ehle is reminiscent of a young Meryl Streep. Then there's redheaded Lefevre, who's jaw-dropping from beginning to end. The winter setting of the school, the surrounding woods and nearby town is a highlight. Meanwhile the story is realistic and intricate without being convoluted. There's a love affair that completely smacks of reality. Everything gels, including the end revelation and how it relates to Abel's haunting past and current burdens.

The film runs doesn't wear out its welcome at a lean 1 hour, 39 minutes; and was shot in Nova Scotia, Canada (Halifax & Windsor).
