Good Will Hunting

Rating: 7/10 (17 March 1999)

Matt Damon stars as a snotty but gifted natural mathematician from South Boston who searches for answers with the help of Sean McGuire, played to perfection by Robin Williams. (Oscar-winner) A fine film with only a few dead spaces, mainly Minnie Driver, who, unlike her performance in the lovely "Circle of Friends", feels dreadfully out of place here. Ben Affleck isn't annoying. That's a first!
