Detatchment (2011)
Adrien Brody delivers a completely different performance than the one he delivered in The Darjeeling Limited. He portrays a depressed and lonely teacher who has some serious talent, but he finds himself getting into school districts that do not care about the future of their students, despite that being the whole point of school to begin with. Adrien Brody is a drifter who plans to take off from one particular situation when it stops working out in his favor, but the students that surround him convince him otherwise. This is an emotional journey that's absolutely worth your time.
