this film is about being gay
Charlotte ThorntonJul 1, 2018the main thing I love about this film is how it shows the importance of studying art, literature and creative subjects/degrees and how damaging it can be to belittle something that someone loves and it passionate about. a film that everyone should watch

Julie_TV lovedDead Poets SocietyI can make an entire essay on how amazing and touching this movie is. Whenever I watch this movie I have to seriously question my life, itβs is a masterpiece, an amazing, spectacular, brilliant, sad, heartbreaking, and life changing. Itβs brilliant. I canβt say that enough times.

Metacritic
Sure, the heroes and villains are arranged in a convenient moral gallery. But the performances, Weir's adroit direction and John Seale's superb cinematography take care of that banality.

Nothing about this film sounds, as described, novel. Yet it grips, because it has been made with plentiful feeling and vigor. [June 26, 1989]
Stanley Kauffmann
The New Republic
Williams, who has comparatively little screen time, has come to act, not to cut comic riffs, and he does so with forceful, ultimately compelling, simplicity. [June 5, 1989]
