Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Zoran S (642) on 26 Sep 2008

I may be giving this film to much credit, but this seems much more than a personal story about a drug addicted teacher…

As far as character stories & development go, this one was fairly good. the acting on ryan gosling's end was great…

By Kirsten A (62) on 16 Sep 2008

Just ok. Boring and inconsistent. Lacked impact and emotion. Did not like the large wholes in the story line…

Really good performances here. I thought it was a little slow going but that's okay. Good flick…

By Heidi T (60) on 14 Sep 2008

This was a really touching movie and it definetly touched my heart. Ryan did a great job playing this character…

What do we learn when we accept that the world and our hereos are not perfect…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Susan K (113) on 14 Sep 2008

Subtle, smart, and forgiving yet unrelenting. This film couldn't have been any better…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Ernst W (58) on 14 Sep 2008

Interesting story but bad director. It feels like Ryan Fleck just let actors read out his script…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Eddie R (160) on 12 Sep 2008

Excellent film. Well acted by all parts. Ryan Gosling really shines in an unlikely sympathetic role…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Maria J (86) on 10 Sep 2008

Quite an interesting story. It is quite good to be shot on hand held camera…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Igor M (110) on 08 Sep 2008

An interesting film (in terms of direction and powerful acting) which keep me watching but felt like it had been going on for hours - not particuarly…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Shaun M (433) on 07 Sep 2008

This movie has some incredibly powerful scenes with amazing acting, but the ending falls flat…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Andrew B (2,971) on 07 Sep 2008

Gosling is very good in this, but the film as a whole didnt connect with me, and I think it's a bit over-rated…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Maybelline T (86) on 05 Sep 2008

This movie hits close to home for me. Gosling's performance of a functional addict is near perfect…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Jack C (638) on 05 Sep 2008

There's something about Ryan Gosling that just makes him cool. I don't know what it is, I don't know how to explain it but he just is…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By James C (2,975) on 03 Sep 2008

Badly overrated, this recent film is more acclaimed than it deserves to be, tackling issues of drugs and education that have already been tackled…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Alex A (1,180) on 03 Sep 2008

Incredible film. A true original with an outstanding performance from Gosling…
