Mel is brilliant and Penn is solid. Slow moving but cogent. Worth a watch.
How could it not be great when it describes the times I love the most and revolves around reading ❤️
The fascinating story of the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary and one of its most prolific contributors.
Interesting film, with great performances, it feels dramatized, there is also 1 scene that gets really visceral for no apparent reason
As someone who loves words, it was enjoyable, a bit slow maybe, but still good
Mel Gibson once again stole the show. Loved his performance. Movie is good. Not great, but good.
Really interesting, great story, really well acted!
Compelling relationship of two completely different men. Fascinating story. These guys are terrific actors.
A great performance by Sean Penn, thrilling, heartbreaking and overall a good movie.
Interesante perspectiva de la historia de la creación del diccionario. 👍
