Maggie Gyllenhaal Shares Significance Of Her New Netflix Role

Maggie Gyllenhaal wanted to be a part of “The Kindergarten Teacher” as soon as she read the script and locked into its deeply flawed female protagonist — a character that is not often seen on the big screen. “I’m always looking to shatter a fantasy,” Gyllenhaal told TheWrap’s Thom Geier at a Q&A following a screening of the film in New York on Thursday night. What works about the movie is she could be our friend, our sister, our neighbor, until she really collapses.”
