Review of Half Nelson (2006) by Ttw107 — 07 Apr 2012
Ryan Gosling manages to give us one of his best performances as the protagonist crackhead...yea, that must be hard to pull off. haha. There really isn't much story but in a sense that makes it all the more realistic to me.
A lot of movies exaggerate reality to make it more exciting which is certainly okay sometimes. The one critic that gave it a bad score on this site said that the classroom scenes are just filler. It's a movie about a basehead who has no friends and along the way becomes close with/looks out for one of his students.
So the classroom scenes are filler huh? Well all he does is get high and teach so there's not really more of his life to be on film plus don't we need to see the way he interacts with his students to get to know more about his relationship with drey? Kyle Smith of the New York Post, I know being a critic is a hard job because it's just opinions but come on man, that is just ridiculous.
