Reviews of Dead Poets Society

David N. Butterworth ("Peter Weir skillfully handles a subject matter which, in the hands of a lesser director, might have come across as trite, even laughable.")
Roger Ebert ("a collection of pious platitudes masquerading as a courageous stand in favor of something")
Desson Howe ("This solid, smart entertainment will shake you down too -- in the good sense.")
Rita Kempley ("the clumsy albeit entertaining Weir. This time he's taking the road more traveled.")
Mark R. Leeper ("a good choice, albeit flawed")
Randy Parker ("without question the finest film of the year")
Jim Emerson ("a numbingly conventional commercial formula picture that, incongruously, pretends to celebrate non-conformity")
Chris Hicks ("ultimately moving and has an ending that will leave the audience thinking as it leaves the theater.")
John Larsen ("Director Weir does a splendid job of getting truthful performances from everyone in the cast.")
Linda Holmes ("an attractive, well-acted film that suffers from, if anything, too much heart")
