Iskola a pult mentén

Co-produced by "Big Indie Pictures" – nagyon találó név egy produkciós cég számára. Az Iskola a pult mentén című film ugyanis a szereposztás, a független téma és a szerény feel-good kivitelezése miatt nagy. Az élet iskolája: öröm a megálmodott tanulás miatt, a szerelem és a saját apa miatti csalódások. A jó és a rossz formálja személyiségünket, a felnőtté váláshoz vezető utat. Ben Affleck egyik legjobb színészi alakítása, megbízható Tye Sheridan, Clooney kísérőhangja és kellemes oldies dalok. (2024.03.17)

Having been a uncle for 35 years and a great-uncle for about 4, the character of Ben Affleck resonated with me and was terribly likeable, both in the way he behaves and how Ben plays him. Welcoming, easy-going, wise, like the whole movie, it totally stroked my troubled soul. Moreover, the beautiful friendly community of regulars in the bar is something we can only envy in today's unfortunate covid era. And if anyone keeps telling me that Ben Affleck is a bad actor, they're a moron, and I’d suggest they buy some drops for the fog in their eyes. (2022.01.08)

A natural and all-around inspiring creative walk down the road to the American Dream. A story originally centered more on the period backdrop of the 1970s and the typically simple yet heart-filling lifestyle of one simple American family. There is power in simplicity. Hold doors, be good to your mother, have some stashies in your wallet, and own a fucking car. (2022.04.10)

Something like this has been missing from my current viewing repertoire for a long time. A pleasant intimate story set between the 1970s and 1990s, this is another appealing contribution to the coming-of-age genre. The narrative itself can feel somewhat sterile at times, as we've seen all the motifs done better or worse many times before, but that in itself is no barrier to a good experience. Moreover, Ben Affleck gives a civil performance, in the best sense of the word, and I definitely won't mind if he sticks to similar roles in the future. [60%] (2022.02.07)
