Maggie Gyllenhaal is glowing on the red carpet at the premiere of her movie The Kindergarten Teacher held during the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival on Thursday (September 13) in Toronto, Canada.

The premiere was held at Roy Thomson Hall and just before the event, Maggie‘s husband Peter Sarsgaard had the premiere of his movie The Lie in the same theater!

Maggie was joined on the red carpet by her young co-star Parker Sevak and the movie’s writer and director, Sara Colangelo.

The film is about a kindergarten teacher in New York who becomes obsessed with one of her students who she believes is a child prodigy.

Netflix debuted the trailer for The Kindergarten Teacher, which you can watch right here!

The film was written and directed by Sara Colangelo, and will premiere on October 12 on the streaming service.

The movie stars Maggie Gyllenhaal, Parker Sevak, Anna Baryshnikov, Rosa Salazar with Michael Chernus and Gael Garcia Bernal.

In the film, Lisa Spinelli (Gyllenhaal) is a kindergarten teacher in Staten Island who yearns to live a life of art and intellectualism. She takes an evening poetry class but, despite her best efforts, her work is mediocre. When she overhears Jimmy (Sevak), one of her five-year-old students, reciting an original poem in her classroom, she is floored. Convinced he is the equivalent of a young Mozart, she becomes obsessed with the child and embarks on a dangerous journey to nurture his talent. As Lisa continues down this increasingly desperate path, she seems ready to throw away everything to chase an impossible dream.
