An interesting historical film that deals with mental illness better then any movie since “A Beautiful Mind”, it also features Mel Gibson and Sean Penn in two of the best performances of their careers, stellar supporting acting and sumptuous production design. Makes the creation of the Oxford Dictionary as fascinating as possible, and also delivers several incredibly powerful emotional moments. A hidden gem.

Mel Gibson and Sean Penn throw themselves to their performances. But the movie makes the mistake that audiences care about the Oxford Dictionary to begin with.

The stitchings of the sewn together script are completely visible, and "The Professor and the Madman" is too stale to make its story of the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary interesting.
