The incredible true story that defined our world.

Sure this film is no doubt Oscar bait, full of some issues that are to be found throughout it including the very slow pacing, but damn is it good! Mel Gibson and Sean Penn took what could’ve easily been an uninteresting and bland historical drama, and elevated it to a whole other level with their fantastic performances. Add in some great cinematography, and acting from the entire cast and you have a film that’s not just excellent, but one of the biggest surprises of the year! 

Thanks for reading 😃

Honestly I've seen way worse episodes of Masterpiece Theatre.

What a Beautiful Beautiful story told through the perfect cast and chain of events. So many emotions with the loveliest soundtrack💗. 
Sean And Mel! I love them together they were brothers:(

 I didn't think I'll rate a movie in 2019 and a biography like this! 

I almost forgot, "I can.. because of you♥️♥️♥️".

James Murray, a man of words, autodidact, self taught has landed a prestigious, big ass job of writing the English dictionary. Meaning, origins, variations all of that. Then there's Dr. Minor an American and batshit crazy. He's in an insane asylum. Their fates will meet to give us the Oxford English dictionary. A movie about the making of the dictionary? Exciting, right? That's what I said! It's a little overdramatic and the classical music score going up and down, dramatizing almost every scene is kind of hilarious but there are some very good performances from the cast and still is a compelling story.

Mooie film met Sean Penn in een glansrol als getormenteerde "madman

The story was gripping, the way words were portrayed was beautiful, certain scenes made me gush, the vibes were grand... but the downhill degradation of the film grated on me.

What a weird freaking movie. Just really a obscure topic that I had no previous knowledge of...

I wanted to like this one. The story sounded interesting, and one uncommonly told. The leads are both strong, and capable at times to give Greta performances. 

Unfortunately this movie never lands.  There are instances of promise, but they never last.

Gibson and Penn with the worst accents they’ve ever pulled off in their careers gargling at each other?

Hell yeah.

Movie is a little cerebral, but very interesting. It is about how the Oxford dictionary came to be and the contribution it receives from a patient in a lunatic asylum

Sure, the film was long, but it was very gripping, especially for a film about the dictionary.  Many good themes examined too.  Surprised I like this film 4.5 worth, but it’s that good. Recommend this film.
