Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Alan C (413) on 12 Jan 2013

While Edward Norton fades into trademarked tics and bluffed stares, Gosling remains an actor of unparalleled integrity and intensity…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Cora D (36) on 10 Jan 2013

Ever since I watched Blue Valentine I've been on a Ryan Gosling binge. This is one of his greatest performances…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Ryan A (1,011) on 09 Jan 2013

Half Nelson shows us a lonely road of a drug-addict teacher. Another great performance by Ryan Gosling…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Alan V (261) on 05 Jan 2013

All character and no story, but some solid performances keep it watchable. Great sound design, as well…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Barbara W (110) on 02 Jan 2013

Any movie with Ryan Gosling is a go for me…

Any movie with Ryan Gosling is a go for me…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Charlie L (477) on 29 Dec 2012

I love this kind of movie. Very intense, plus it reminded me of my brother except for the whole drug stuff…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Kraamer R (48) on 27 Dec 2012

Not a bad movie, but not great either…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Steph S (413) on 26 Dec 2012

It was slow paced and I honestly think Ryan Gosling was not that great in this role (to earn an Oscar nomination)…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Megan K (186) on 25 Dec 2012

I can't think of any film I've ever felt more involved in…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Becky B (382) on 20 Dec 2012

A dark film, but Ryan Gosling is just so unbelievably incredible. You really identify with his character…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Sam K (272) on 09 Dec 2012

I have utmost respect for Ryan Gosling after watching Half Nelson…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

La peli es interesante, un poco lenta, pero se puede ver. no se estreno en los cines de Argentina…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Cole B (263) on 25 Nov 2012

This is a story featuring a white teacher in a black school…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Scott C (2,765) on 06 Nov 2012

It's a challenge to make a school based rite-of-passage film without it turning into a gooey sentimental mess and this more than meets it…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Kenny S (360) on 02 Nov 2012

I didn't get to finish the movie because the dvd was skipping like crazy...but the first half was pretty good…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Lisa P (259) on 31 Oct 2012

Truly one of my favorite movies of all time, seen it many, many times and the last scene of the two sitting on the couch always gets me…

By Sanjaya P (73) on 26 Oct 2012

Ryan Gosling gives a awesome performance.. Awesome…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Nic A (74) on 19 Oct 2012

It took me a long time to get around to it but finally watched this film…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Dakota F (90) on 17 Oct 2012

This is a movie that could have been just okay, but thanks to how the actors went about bringing the writing to life, it became something much…
