De Ontgoocheling is an intriguing blend of comedy and drama that navigates the existential musings of a grade school teacher named Bert. There's this sort of offbeat charm that permeates the film, as Bert seeks to break free from the monotony of everyday life by embarking on a documentary project. It's almost like watching a mid-life crisis unfold in real-time, with layers of humor that feel both lighthearted and poignant. The performances are quite engaging, especially how Bert grapples with his own mediocrity while drawing out the quirks of his students and colleagues. The pacing is a bit meandering, which suits the film's introspective nature, and the practical effects add a nice touch of realism that complements the documentary style.
