Griffith J I am not exaggerating, these are the types of films that change you as a person. Taking the bleakest things possible yet learning to grow & be inspired by life is a beautiful & emotionally crippling theme. Williams’ performance is generational as he shows the importance & primal need to pursue the arts. The autumn tone & picturesque establishing shots perfectly present the season. I find the idea of breaking tradition, being true to yourself, & embracing new perspectives to be beyond rousing as it all shows the power one great teacher can have. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/25 Full Review Evan V. 90% Though not entirely entertaining, this film has great performances, and a powerful ending. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/07/25 Full Review Movie F. Loved most of the movie and emphasis on the beauty of poetry. Robin Williams was so talented in his role as a new, free thinking instructor at an all boys prep school. I did think the traumatic event near the end was a bit much and would have written it differently to get to the same finale, but that’s a minor complaint. it’s so much better than so many other movies out there. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/06/25 Full Review Kenzie C It seemed a bit boring at first but it’s because it was building such an amazing plot up with character depth and I feel a lot of the audience does not realize that until the end. Not to spoil anything yet the ending was so saddening and heartfelt but so fulfilling at the same time. I would definitely recommend this film if you want to feel your heart shattering. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/04/25 Full Review caitlin f I hated this movie. I hated it because it was a masterpiece and I can't bring myself to ever watch it again. I fear if I ever try to watch it again, I will pull myself to the brink of insanity. Insanely well written, and, personally, I did NOT expect THE thing to happen. Brings me to tears. I hate it. I hate it so much because it is the best movie I've ever watched, with every other movie pailing in comparison. I hate that no other movie will ever be able to live up to the love I shed for this movie. No movie will ever be better, and that makes me incredibly sad when I even attempt to watch anything else, as my mind wanders back to the sadness and despair I felt upon watching this. ANDERPERRY FOR LIFE. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/04/25 Full Review Johannes S A slow burning movie full of passion and inspiration. I particularly love the focus on each of the boys' individual pursuit of goals and them bonding over pursuing them. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/03/25 Full Review Read all reviews
