Good Will Hunting — Straight to the heart — 10*/10

  • Story: Quickly captivates your mind. Very touching.
  • Characters: Lots of depth. You can really feel them. Nice psychological background.
  • Dialogs: Straight, solid, and often funny or with lots of emotions.
  • Scenario: Great pacing, nice balance between light scenes and those more charged. Things get wrapped up pretty well, but not in a must be rosy at all cost way. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck did a superb job. The only reproach I would have to mention is when the girl first mention California, it wasn't introduced at all.
  • Actors: Robin Williams is simple and right on the dot, you can't help but feel what he feels. Matt Damon did a great performance and it put him on the map. Ben Affleck and the other south Boston buddies were perfect. Minnie Driver was very endearing and touching. Stellan Skarsgård was so-so, but maybe it's just because I couldn't tolerate his character.
  • Photography: Nice.
  • Special effects: None
  • Synopsis & informationhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119217/
  • Who is it for? Those rooting for the underdog, who don't mind crying and laughing in the same movie, who like simple realistic romance, or who like solid psychological scaffold to their story.
