Pretty Good, but Not GREAT

Rating: 7/10 (16 March 2020)

Mr. Holland's Opus is a fine film in every sense of the word. It is well-acted, well-written, and fully engaging. I especially enjoyed the fine performance from Richard Dreyfus.
The film is just a bit too sappy for me to consider it truly great, however, and it is just a tad long for my taste. I'd love to say more, but I'm writing this on my phone and my battery is about to die. And anyway, I gotta go seek shelter from this tornado now.
