B-
"A bundle of growing pain blues, flamboyant declarations of self, and doomsday faculty foul-ups, and it cooks when delivered in big batches of adolescent passion."

5/5
"The best stories and performances, one of the greatest films of the 1980s and a rare classic that should be treasured."
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
1.5/4
"It's a tearjerker where the tears come not from the heart, but from the aching mind; we cry not because of the sad situations, but because of its ludicrous attempts at being sad."

David Keyes
"The film makes us, the audience, take a long hard look at what inspires us, what governs our motivations and determines our actions. It emotes feelings rarely felt in the movies these days."

David N. Butterworth
"Celebrates nonconformity and freethinking as an adventure worthy of emulation not your usual movie theme these days."

Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
3/4
"As consistent and nearly as understated a performance as Robin Williams would give later in
Good Will Hunting
."

5/10
"
Dead Poets Society
adds little to the genre that hasn't been said before and aims, instead, at familiar stereotypes and overly obvious tugs at the heartstrings."

4.5/5
"Part of what makes
Dead Poet's Society
so great is that it challenges you to think. It can inspire you to be more than a simple cog in a wheel."
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
"In a field of films about drugs, car chases, and plastic monsters,
Dead Poets Society
is a good choice."

Dead Poets Society
comes from a sincere place."
