Robin Williams continues to teach us

Rating: 6/10 (13 December 2014)

This film was one of the career highlights for Robin Williams and I can see why.
This film gives him the opportunity to show off all the colours of that talent, he can be funny, he can be sentimental and in his role as Keating can make you laugh and cry in equal measure.
A lot of credit has to go to director Peter Weir who gets such engaging performances from the young actors playing the boys at the school and also for channelling such a layered performance from Williams.
I think though while the film is good it is slow paced at times and there are too many short scenes that don't really add to the piece. However,what makes up for that is the heart and message behind the film, and they are the reason that it is held in such high esteem by everyone who sees it.
