CRITICS OF "Finding Forrester"

TheMovieReport.com

Brown, in his acting debut, displays the balance of book smarts, street smarts, and vulnerability that is crucial to the part.

February 15, 2010

Resource

Time Out

The leaden screenplay can be fingered for many of the film's faults. But what happened to the off-kilter film-maker last seen at work in To Die For?

January 26, 2006

Resource

Old School Reviews

predictable formula film that is quickly forgotten

July 22, 2012

Resource

Philadelphia Inquirer

A rewarding exploration of the knotty and often contentious relationship between teacher and protege. Its chief pleasure is the master class in the art of acting delivered by Sean Connery.

January 11, 2001

Suite101.com

Lost in "Forrester's" dismissal is appreciation for its relatively piss-and-vinegar approach to the act of creating fiction. Jazzy, classicist and a bit meta, the film's unexpectedly urbane quirks resemble Jonathan Demme films at their mainstream best.

Common Sense Media

Quality characters, solid film; OK for ages 14+.

December 24, 2010

Film4

Rather hollow effort.

March 25, 2008

Resource

Cinema Crazed

Doesn't fully live up to all the expectations but is still enjoyable.

April 29, 2009

CNN.com

A rare find.

January 12, 2001

Chicago Reader

If director Gus Van Sant had always been a hack it wouldn't matter so much, but personally I find this form of licking the audience's cheeks like an obsequious puppy deeply offensive.

March 25, 2008

Resource

Globe and Mail

An anti-intellectual film about the intellectual life.

March 19, 2002

Rolling Stone

Funny and touching.
