Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle -
Hurrah! Poetry and passion, comedy and tragedy are fused into one absolutely marvelous affirmation of independent spirit in Dead Poets Society. [2 June 1989, Daily Notebook, p.E1]

Mr. Showbiz -
One of Australian director Peter Weir's most sensitive films.

The New Yorker -
The picture draws out the obvious and turns itself into a classic. [26 June 1989]

|
Washington Post -
Sure, the heroes and villains are arranged in a convenient moral gallery. But the performances, Weir's adroit direction and John Seale's superb cinematography take care of that banality.

The New Republic -
Nothing about this film sounds, as described, novel. Yet it grips, because it has been made with plentiful feeling and vigor. [June 26, 1989]
