Who is he speaking to?
In the interviews he does in the movie, those cuts spread throughout the movie, he is talking to someone? Why? to whom?

Yes, that definitely makes sense. I was confused throughout the film whenever it cut to those scenes of Brody talking to the camera.

The film starts with interviews with a number of what I took to be real teachers talking about their feelings and experiences in the education system. My take was that the Adrien Brody interview was 'supposed' to be one of those. An attempt to ground the film in reality, in other words.
I used to want to change the world. Now I just want to leave the room with a little dignity.

To no one. He asked to split and close the door in the very beginning of the movie, so to be in an empty room. It's the kind of self-interview, self-confession.
