My review on this excellent movie is late and not as well worded as previous reviews, but my brain pointed out to me how this story is almost an autobiography of the two main actors, Sean Penn and Mel Gibson, told through this true story of sabotage, sadness, regret, love, and controlled public condemnation, of the two creators of the Oxford dictionary.
This movie is not a genre I would normally pick when choosing something to watch, however, every facet of "The Professor, and the Madman", had me transfixed from beginning, to end. Sean and Mel will never get the accolades they deserve any more, but the actors and artists who support them in creating works like this, will be rewarded with a masterful movie they can be proud of.
A great honest movie, that everyone should watch.
