This is the best effort I’ve seen from Sean Penn since “Milk” almost twelve years ago. His portrayal of the schizophrenic William Chester Minor who, having spent almost 40 years of his life in Broadmoor psychiatric hospital, became one of the single most significant contributors to the orginal Oxford Dictionary of English is superb. He captures the flaws of this paranoid etymologist warts and all, and gels very well with Mel Gibson who, as the compiler of the tome – Dr. James Murray – also turns in a good, strong and, latterly, sympathetic and understanding performance too. This is essentially a double-hander with Natalie Dormer, Eddie Marsan and Steve Coogan helping to explain the story and releasing some of the emotional steam from time to time. It’s a little slow in places, two hours could have done justice to this interesting story which seems overly padded at time. As you’d expect; it looks great with plenty of serious attention to detail and it also shines a little light on Victorian/Edwardian attitudes to mental illness.
I really like it. It had a story within a true Story. Which in my opinion made it a little complex and exciting. Good for young adults and up. Teenagers might not find it so compelling but that’s just a short time in their life when they’re looking for total entertainment and action. This is not that film but there is a great story to be told with a interesting backdrop of facts. Mel Gibson is excellent!! Be ready to be surprised with a few turns and twists. I really like this movie. I think it was very entertaining and interesting and at times exciting. Get your popcorn ready kick back and enjoy a movie that every other word is not the f word or the GD word. I really enjoyed it and as usual, Mel Gibson always deliver.
Nice movie,nasty reviews
It seems to me that there is some critique-conspiracy going on around this movie. I just found out there were some legal issues surrounding this movie,but I still don’t get all those bad reviews about the movie itself. Normally,I wouldn’t even look those up,but they are just popping up whenever I want to google something about the plot or the true story behind it. Anyways,the movie was really enjoyable. The acting was great in my opinion,the story was interesting and captivating. It was shot beautifully. It is not perfect tho,not all parts could hold my attention,but it’s a film I would recommend to my friends.
Great movie!!!
I wanted to see this movie as soon as I heard about it. Yeah, I know, Im a bit of a word nerd. To find out that Penn and Gibson were going to star in it absolutely fascinated me. It does not disappoint. It is 2 hours long and yes, it is a bit slow, but this kind of movie can’t be done in any other way and it is a story, I thought, had to be told. Penn is dynamite!! I love his acting style, where you can see his character’s feelings from head to toe. He simply drew me in in every scene to the point where scenes without him in it paled in comparison. Im not much of a Mel Gibson fan, but enjoyed his performance. I thought he and Penn had great chemistry.
