Movie Haiku:One of my favorite TV directors (Weeds! Nurse Jackie!) makes the leap to feature films with this giddy delight about a high school teacher who must wrestle with the "omniscient narrator" in her head (hilariously voiced by Fiona Shaw) to get her life back. Anchored by pitch-perfect performance by Julianne Moore, terrific cast pulls off the "Let''''s Put on a Show!" plot. (Not yet seen by Rich.)
