Critic Reviews
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
If director Gus Van Sant had always been a hack it wouldn't matter so much, but personally I find this form of licking the audience's cheeks like an obsequious puppy deeply offensive.
-
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
An anti-intellectual film about the intellectual life.
-
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Funny and touching.
-
(CNN.com) Paul Clinton, CNN.com
A rare find.
-
Desmond Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer
A rewarding exploration of the knotty and often contentious relationship between teacher and protege. Its chief pleasure is the master class in the art of acting delivered by Sean Connery.
