Leave your thoughts about Finding Forrester.
| The Film YapNick RogersLost in "Forrester's" dismissal is appreciation for its relatively piss-and-vinegar approach to the act of creating fiction. Jazzy, classicist and a bit meta, the film's unexpectedly urbane quirks resemble Jonathan Demme films at their mainstream best. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsBetty Jo TuckerAlthough it's difficult to imagine writing as a dramatic activity, Connery makes it seem so in the challenging role of a reclusive novelist mentoring a gifted student. |
| Planet Sick-BoyJon PopickNewcomer Brown steals the show as the jaded teen whose life is altered by a chance encounter. |
| Portland OregonianKim MorganWritten, acted and directed so intelligently that it stands out from the pack, and is guaranteed to give you the warm glow of holiday movies past -- the kind that celebrated faith in human potential and the value of hard work. |
| Lawrence Journal-WorldDan LybargerDirector Gus Van Sant, who helmed "Good Will Hunting," imbues the new film with just enough stylish touches to keep it from feeling stale or rote. |
| MoviolaJorge Avila AndradeMostrando una entrañable historia del alumno-maestro, el filme de Van Sant se convierte en una placentera experiencia fílmica |
| UK CriticIan Waldron-MantganiFinding Forrester is an easy watch with just enough of a feeling of prestige and respectability about it to please serious moviegoers. |
| eFilmCritic.comCollin SouterWhile Finding Forrester does take us on a familiar journey, it does not sell its audience short. |
| Daily Mail (UK)Christopher TookeyAll signs of intelligent life are sacrificed to Hollywood formula and liberal wish-fulfilment. |
| Film ThreatRon WellsFinding Forrester is not the fastest-paced film in the world, nor the most stirring. It is however the most complete portrait of what it means to be a writer that I've seen in a long time. |
