Review of Lean On Me (1989) by Janet Maslin for The New York Times — 12 Sep 2016
Audiences are apt to root for the film's Mr. Clark even when they aren't entirely enthusiastic about what he's doing. Much of this is attributable to Mr. Freeman's fiery and compelling performance, but a lot of it also comes from the director John G.
Avildsen (''Rocky''), who has stacked the deck in every way he can.
