Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Mr. Redford has made a rich, handsome, articulate film about a subject truly worth talking about.
Fresh: What Redford is saying isn't new, but it has rarely been said in a mainstream movie with this kind of passion.
Fresh: Written with clean-cut force by Paul Attanasio and directed with panache by Robert Redford.
Fresh: Manages a trick that few films even dare try -- to take a hard look at personal and public moral issues and still provide dazzling entertainment.
Customer Reviews
One of my favorite dramas
This movie is worth more than I can say. I love everything about it, especially Ralph Fiennes as Charles Van Doren, who is perfectly flawed, perfectly human. I find him so easy to understand and so pitiable by the end of the film. I would buy this in an instant if it became available in HD.
