While praise was given towards the film's performances, cinematography, score, and its attempt to explore a complex issue, criticisms were reserved over a narrative lack of focus, exposition, and character development. In 2014, it was announced the film would be adapted as a TV series, with Fidell executive producing. Kate Mara became attached to star as the lead and also as an executive producer. A Teacher, the resulting miniseries, premiered on FX on Hulu in November 2020.
