Review of Dead Poets Society (1989) by Mads D — 20 Apr 2013

Dead Poets Society is a well crafted drama with a great cast and a compelling story that is engaging from start to finish. The film boasts a powerful performance from Robin Williams, who was nominated for an Oscar.

Dead Poets Society is one of those rare films that rely on a wonderful script to tell its story. This is the finest film from director Peter Weir, who uses simple elements to tell a memorable story. Weir's direction is incredible and he conveys something truly unique here.

Weir directs a great cast here and the story is engaging and will surely appeal to genre fans. This film has a simple, yet effective plot, and it its films like this that remind you that the best films only rely on a well developed story to capture the interest of the viewer.

This may not appeal to everyone, but for those looking for a film with a great cast and wonderful story, then this film is for you. Robin Williams really stands out here, and he elevates the material even further.

The film is not perfect, but in terms of performances, and story, Peter Weir has crafted something truly special. I really enjoyed the film and it among the best drama films of the 1980's. My only real complaint would be that the ending was a bit too cheesy, but otherwise, the film was worth seeing.

Dead Poets Society is a flawed film, but it is a well acted, directed picture that is highly engaging from start to finish. I think that the ending should have been reworked slightly, other than that, this was a must see picture and a terrific drama that is worth checking out.
