A documentary following the attempts of five families as they enter the highly competitive nursery school arena.
A little too professional for the kids that are featured at the bottom of the poster. Designed to evoke a sense of childishness amidst the skyline of New York City, it comes off as a lame attempt to build on indie cachet.
While it's awful to know that people are so vain and vicious that a film like this needs to be made to shine a light in the corner of a festering rathole, but this documentary's trailer presents itself as entirely too conventional.
I can't imagine Oscar voters really caring enough about this subject to give it Oscar recognition.
I have not seen this film.
