The Professor and the Madman Reviews

Movie Reviews

• this isn't a bad film; it's beautifully shot and sensationally acted, and it tells a fascinating real-life story

  by Tara McNamara [Common Sense Media ]

• the good news is that Gibson is fine; it's everything else that doesn't work

  by Jay Weissberg [Variety ]

• the film isn't outright bad, or even unwatchable, but it is plagued by multiple personalities of its own, and has no clear idea of what it wants to be

  by Elizabeth Kerr [The Hollywood Reporter ]

• "The Professor and the Madman" has screenplay issues, messing around with tonality one too many times, but there's something interesting in the central crisis of language, with the production capturing the fever of research and breakthroughs

  by Brian Orndorf [Blu-ray.com ]
