Towering performance by Matt Damon as a troubled working class who needs to address his creative genius elevates this drama way above its therapeutic approach, resulting in a zeitgeist film that may touch chord with young viewers the way The Graduate did

Top CriticWhile the charismatic performances of Damon and Affleck make "Good Will Hunting" a difficult entertainment to resist, doing just that is not as hard as the film would like to think.
Top CriticAlmost any viewer will enjoy Good Will Hunting moment by moment, but many will wake the next morning wondering why, with all that talent on hand, it amounts to so little in the end.
Top Critic...a worthwhile sample of entertainment.
Top CriticAs Francis Ford Coppola does with The Rainmaker, Van Sant demonstrates how entertainingly a real pro can direct a strong if not especially groundbreaking story.
Top CriticEven rarer than a breath of fresh air is a breath of fresh Hollywood film. Brainy and heartfelt and right on target, Good Will Hunting is such a film.
Top CriticGood Will Hunting represents the firmest step into the mainstream yet for director Gus van Sant.
Top CriticIntimate, heartfelt and wickedly funny, it's a movie whose impact lingers.
Top CriticThe outcome of the movie is fairly predictable; so is the whole story, really. It's the individual moments, not the payoff, that make it so effective.
Top CriticBetween this film and John Grisham's The Rainmaker, Damon surfaces as one swell addition to the front line of screen actors.
