Movie Review: Good Will Hunting
Director Gus Van Sant beautifully fuses formalistic slow-motion fight sequences with emotionally crippling character revelations that show us slivers of who these rough and tough Bostonites are underneath. And if you don’t fall in love with Minnie Driver in this movie, you are lacking a soul- she is disgustingly endearing, right down to her quaint British accent. Knowing that Affleck and Damon coined this script while in college together only adds to it’s humble but impressive depth of a story. Undoubtedly the most enjoyable relationship to watch is the complexity between the wise shrink (Williams) and troubled protagonist (Damon).
Rating: 9.5/10
