DEAD POETS SOCIETY (1989) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Peter Weir

Written by - Tom Schulman

Starring - Robin Williams

 

"This generally overrated drama about an inspirational unconventional teacher of a New England prep school has a great central character, but is really nothing we haven’t seen before, and even offers a cheesy and unrealistic ending so as not to disappoint its viewers. However, the Robin Williams performance is great, and the direction of some sequences certainly makes the film worth watching."
