A muddled story populated with thinly written characters and arranged around a misguided Johnny Depp performance, The Professor fails early and often.

Depp, sporting a distractingly foppish, unfurling-flag hairdo, commits to his character's tricky balancing act but over-relies on his signature rakishness to fully convince. June 25, 2019 | Full Review…

It's American Beauty meets Dead Poets Society given a terminal-disease twist, and while not as scathing nor as inspirational as those films, The Professor happily mines laughs from the darkest of places. June 17, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Johnny Depp finds some emotional depth amid the eccentricities, but this muddled character study about a dying man's final days can't match his efforts. June 7, 2019 | Full Review…

A spectacularly ill-timed movie. Feels like it was inspired by the writings of Jordan Peterson at times. May 24, 2019 | Full Review…

The movie frequently makes no sense from a purely human perspective... and it becomes increasingly annoying as the story rolls on. May 17, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

[The Professor] is more subservient to feel-good cliches than its too-cool-for-school veneer indicates. May 17, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Though Roberts' screenplay draws attention to its structure with frequent chapter headings, it plays like a work that has been victimized by too many editors, each trying to achieve something different. May 16, 2019 | Full Review…

Depp's turbocharged archness is basically the whole show. The actor appears as out of whits to give as the man he's playing, with little interest in enunciating clearly or hiding his self-regard. May 16, 2019 | Full Review…
