Review of The Browning Version

The performance by Albert Finney is a beautiful and powerful one of inner emotion, misunderstanding and unapreciation. On a simply level it makes you more reflective and retrospective of your school days and those who nurtured us, but on a deeper level it brings, in many different examples, you a deeper understanding of the turmoil people go through, from a miss understood teacher who`s sharp exterior hides a broken heart, to the troubles of a young boy who feels for this man, and has domestic troubles of his own. Not a unique film as comparisons of varying strengths can be made to films such as `Goodbye Mr Chips` and `Dead Poets Society`, but still an amazingly powerful and emotive film.
