I have always been amazed that, according to Imdb, ‘Good Will Hunting’ is still Gus Van Sant’s best movie. I saw it again recently and, honestly, I think it is a decent drama and an entertaining feature but I don’t see what was so amazing about it. In my opinion, his best movie was actually this flick, his sophomore directing effort. To be honest, it has been a while since I saw it and it... read more

" Date: 4/28/2019 Viewed: Amazon Prime (Rental) First Viewing Note: I haven't watched many movies lately due to work and playing Mortal Kombat 11 lately. I wanted to check out this movie for a long time now because I like Gus Van Sant's work. I end up loving this movie from start to finish. I love all of the characters and I found the whole movie to be pretty relaxing to watch. They also did a great job of telling a really good story as well. I highly recommend this film. "
