    Good daytime feelgood movie

    Enjoyable movie. Well acted. Good true story about education. Quite predictable, with a few turns that make it interesting. Well worth a watch.

    BEAUTIFULLY DONE - Based on Virginia Walden, the real person

    Wow. "Kids Come First!" ... Ashay and Amen.

    Until today I did not know about Virginia Walden and the work for kids' EDUCATION that she has led, coordinated, and facilitated. ... Am *thankful* to have somehow come across this movie, "Miss Virginia." ... This extraordinary person began a huge uphill battle overcoming massive barriers for K - 12 education for resource-poor families in DC. She is still working for quality education for school kids in concrete and measurable ways, such as scholarships to proper, high-quality schools.

    The movie has Class-A top-notch Actors, so spectacular that you cannot "see" the acting, i.e., it's not "fake" or "pretend." It is Heartfelt and Real. Watching it we can tell it was truly a Labor of Love. ... This includes the high caliber of the little kids, teens, and all the adults. ... Please see this film. -- You will Love it.

    Incredibly Inspiring and Exciting

    This film is so uplifting Uzo plays a mother who against all odds works to get her son into a school where he can thrive. the multiple dramas a work provide a suspense and humor. Still, your heart will fall as Uzo is smashed down by those who simply don't care and those who don't want her to succeed. Yet the community rallies around her and she rallies them to win out. So heartwarming to see this true story. And to know that 11,00 kids have had their lives turned around as a result of Virginia's heroism.

    Great Movie with Important History

    This was a great movie and really highlighted how important local government is and advocacy. It also spoke of the hardships a lot of folks have to navigate in neighborhoods that are under resourced and undeserved. The acting was also great. Highly recommend it.
