Won't Back Down (2012)
Directed by Daniel Barnz
Jamie Fitzpatrick and Nona Alberts are two women from opposites sides of the social and economic track, but they have one thing in common: a mission to fix their community's broken school and ensure a bright future for their children. The two women refuse to let any obstacles stand in their way as they battle a bureaucracy that's hopelessly mired in traditional thinking, and they seek to re-energize a faculty that has lost its passion for teaching.

What critics compared Won't Back Down to
In supporting turns, Diane Lane (2010's " Secretariat ") continues to be a beacon of comfort as Clark's widowed mother Martha, while Holly Hunter (2012's " Won't Back Down ") is terrific as confident, straight-talking Senator June Finch, a potential ally of Lex.
A character piece both spirited and astutely told, the film's two constants are Oscar Isaac (2012's " Won't Back Down "), as Llewyn, and the soulfully melodic folk songs that become the soundtrack to his existence.
