Genre: Drama
Starring: Robbin Williams, Matt Damon, Stellan Skarsgard, Minnie Driver
A born genius mathematician Will Hunting (Damon) is working as a janitor at MIT. Prof Gerald Lambeau (Skarsgard) discovers his ability to solve the most complicated mathematical problems within minutes, something which took him years altogether. He wants Will to use this ability of his so that he can develop a future and succeed. However, incidents in Will's past has made him a very defensive person, who keeps blaming himself for what he is and refuses to get along with anyone. Sensing the need for some psychotherapy, Lambeau introduces Will to his childhood friend and psychologist, Sean Maguire (Williams) who agrees to treat Will. Therapy is difficult for both of them, as Will is unwilling to respond and Dr. Maguire is not going to give up on him so easily. Dr Maguire starts stimulating Will to approach Skylar (Driver) and develop a relationship with her in a bid to improve his self-confidence. The movie is terribly slow and the therapy sessions seemed to be a bit overstretched, but that doesn't make the movie a bad watch nonetheless. Robbin Williams as usual puts on an amazing act, something quite expected from him.
Rating: 6.8/10
