The school leaders are written to stereotypes, and have no flexible thought, but Robin Williams is quite good. It’s a unique premise and a little better than other ‘teacher films’

Although Robin Williams is the reason for seeing this movie, the story is ludicrous, the "adult" characters could not be more cliché and less than one-dimensional, particularly the bully father who drives his son to suicide. Could it not…

THE OBSERVER STOPPED caring about Peter Weir’s Dead Poets Society when the boy committed suicide. Here is a movie in which the central figure, an English teacher portrayed by Robin Williams, admonishes his students to avoid cliché and seek…

This is a must-see film. Whether you like Robin Williams or not, you will love him in this movie. It is one of his best. That being said, the film is really about characters like Todd and Neil, played by Ethan Hawke and Robert Sean…

Dead Poets Society is easy my favourite film, the characters are relatable and the performances of emotion and raw feelings, especially coming from teenage boys, which was certainly frowned upon at the time and is only marginally accepted…

Williams is great, as almost always, but this movie, while it holds up well over time, has never struck me as the classic it is considered by reviewers. Aside from Williams, the rest of the movie is fairly weak.

Really wonderful movie. Robin Williams was wonderful in this and so were all the young teenage boys in his class. The story was interesting, honest and sad.
This was a very good movie that taught how teachers influence students be it for the good or bad and how parents can sometimes expect something from their child that is unjust.
As adults we should always remember that every person is an…

Even when he was acting creepy, like in ''One Hour Photo'', Robin Williams could always make me smile, so right now I am going to try and remember that, even though this great talent's life just ended in a way which echoes this films final…

One of the best movies ever:) it really portrays how to deal with life and how to stand up for yourself, an excellent movie that I still think is underrated...
