Netflix has acquired all rights for the Us and Canada to Sundance award-winning drama The Kindergarten Teacher.

Gyllenhaal, also one of the film’s producers, plays a Staten Island kindergarten teacher who, when she discovers what may be a gifted five-year-old in her class, becomes fascinated and obsessed with the child.
Talia Kleinhendler and Osnat Handelsman Keren produce for their Pie Films and Trudie Styler and Celine Rattray for their Maven Films banner. Pia Pressure, Farcaster Films, Imagination Park Entertainment, Manhattan Productions and PaperChase Films financed and co-produced.
