...just to see Robin Williams

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 1999)

How good can Robin Williams be in a serious role? Just terrific, like Dead Poets Society. This movie is worth seeing, if only for his great park-scene monologue. Notice the interesting camera technique where the camera stays trained on Williams the entire time. The camera wouldn't have moved even if ordered by Van Sant himself. The screen play has an unbelievable premise; but so well written, who cares.
