Leave your thoughts about Dead Poets Society.
| San Francisco ChronicleJudy StoneSure, 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. |
| New York Daily NewsHank GalloOn the surface Robin Williams appears to be giving his standard performance as Prof. Keating - witty, sincere and lovable. But there's much more here. |
| VarietyVariety StaffStory sings whenever Williams is onscreen. Screen belongs just as often to Leonard, who as Neil has a quality of darting confidence mixed with hesitancy. Hawke, as the painfully shy Todd, gives a haunting performance. |
| Screen It!Rory L. AronskyWatch "Dead Poets Society" and you'll see the efforts of a filmmaker who has his own loving style in making movies. |
| TIME MagazineRichard SchickelWilliams, who has comparatively little screen time, has come to act, not to cut comic riffs, and he does so with forceful, ultimately compelling, simplicity. |
| Empire MagazineAngie ErrigoBeautifully directed and with an Oscar-winning story. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenI can't help but melt underneath this movie: it chisels away the cynic and gets at the sap. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsDavid N. ButterworthThe film makes us, the audience, take a long hard look at what inspires us, what governs our motivations and determines our actions. It emotes feelings rarely felt in the movies these days. |
| Bullz-Eye.comJason ZingaleTom Schulman's heartfelt script takes the main character's relationships with Keating above and beyond the usual student-teacher connection. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumAbove average drama that put Robin Williams on dramatic actor map. |
