Not bad, but...

Rating: 5/10 (13 February 2020)

I like the pretentious premise. The "fight against the educational system that suppress individuality, passion and expression and critical thinking in search of pragmatism and efficiency valuing life in dollars/'success' and nothing more". I like that. Alos, Robert Sean Leonard and Ethan Hawke are excellent in the roles of confused young adults/teens. All their scenes are great. But...
Insert: Robin Williams. And I just can't. I don't believe a thing about his character. I don't believe he's smart, nor that he's inspiring. His weird methods only made me think he was dumb and weird, more than different and better. Maybe with a better dramatic actor in his place, I would consider good this exact same movie.
Besides that, neither the score, nor the dialogue (except for a couple), nor the emotional conclusion of the story were specially great to counter the downside of having Robin Williams.
