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

An anti-intellectual film about the intellectual life.

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.

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.
