Gail Exceptional acting and poignant moments throughout Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/25 Full Review Victoria O I love this film. It is such a classic. As someone who has experienced trauma they explore this topic and how it alters people’s behaviours and relationships towards others. It’s a beautiful tale of Sean and Will both who are struggling to make connections and struggling with expressing emotions. Sean because of his wives recent passing and Will because he feels he is undeserving. Honestly this was well written. I enjoy Skylars character as she portrays an outsider who wants to someday understand Will. She is willing to try and help him see that he is deserving of love. And I enjoy the end of the film when Will finally has the courage to give the ultimate FU to his past abusers and seek what he wants for himself because he can. It’s the ultimate self healing film and whenever I get bad when thinking of my own traumas this film helps me reminds me that we are all deserving of love and to try with our relationships because we owe it to ourselves to try.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/27/25 Full Review Bearded H. Great movie, that helps you to feel for the characters. It is an interesting concept of a movie and it really does show that even talented people have struggles. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/24/25 Full Review paul o Lovely, well acted film. Makes you realise just how good Robin Williams was and what a huge loss his death is. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/18/25 Full Review Patrick C Sometimes films just touch you at a deep level and become firm favourites. This is one such for me. Can't pretend I can relate to Matt Damon's mathematical genius (I learnt my times tables but not much else) but there's something in his story arc that resonates big time. His performance is superb, as is that of Robin Williams as his psychiatrist. Unlike most people on this earth, I have never found Williams remotely funny. But as a straight actor he can be quite wonderful. The moment his character Sean Maguire finally breaks through Will Hunting's emotional walls is one of the most moving in all cinema. I hesitate to pick holes in such an outstanding piece of work, but sometimes you see a scene included that is so at odds with the rest of the film that you can't believe it made the cut. Here it's the supposedly comic interlude in which Ben Affleck's Chuckie Sullivan goes to a job interview in Hunting's place. It's absurd. The mysteries of directorial and editing decisions, folks.
