The movie 'Barton Academy' opens on February 21st.

The movie 'Barton Academy' (directed by Alexander Payne) has confirmed its domestic release on February 21st.

'Barton Academy' is a work that tells the heart-warming, comforting and touching story of Paul, a history teacher, Tully, a troublemaker, and Mary, a chef, who stay at Barton Academy in 1970 while everyone else is leaving for the winter vacation.

At the 81st Golden Globe Awards held in the United States on the 7th (local time), Paul Giamatti, who played Paul Hunnam of 'Barton Academy', won the Best Actor Award, and Devine Joy Randolph, who played Mary, won the Best Supporting Actress Award. . Foreign media also gave it favorable reviews, including “A must-see movie” (CNN), “Sharp, fresh and clever!” (The New York Times), and “The warmest cinematic experience of the year” (New York Post).

The main poster shows the three main characters' unique personalities against the backdrop of an empty school cafeteria where everyone has left for winter vacation. Stubborn history teacher Paul (Paul Giamatti) is staring straight ahead with an expression that looks like he has a lot to say.

Problem child Tully (Dominic Sesa) has a subtle expression that makes him seem to be thinking deeply about something, giving him an unexpected charm. The same goes for Mary (Devine Joy Randolph), who has challenging eyes. The copy, ‘Even though they were together, they were always alone,’ raises curiosity about the eventful winter vacation that these people with their own stories will have.
