Good Will Hunting

CriticsCritics: 84
AudienceAudience: 8.5

A brilliant young janitor from a working-class neighborhood repeatedly clashes with the law and pushes away opportunities. When a mathematics professor recognizes his extraordinary ability, he is required to work with a psychologist whose patience may help him confront his past and consider a different future.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you prefer heartfelt character dramas about friendship, healing, and untapped potential, especially films like Dead Poets Society; Not for you if you want fast action or a tightly plotted thriller.
