Funasian2005 What a waste of a talented cast. This movie is so boring, badly directed. It has nothing going for it. No drama, no suspense, nothing interesting to offer. The script is pseudo intellectual.The character is boring. Laura Linney only has 2 lines, Nicole Kidman has 10 lines, Guy Pearce has 2 lines, Jude Law lots of mumbo jumbo out of his mouth which nobody can relate to, and Colin Firth the main character doesn't seem to say much. I have no idea , why is this editor's life Max Perkin's life is turned into a book and a movie. I wasn't interested at all in his biography. Is it because of bad direction or screenplay that i don't find his life story interesting , i won't know for sure.Don't be fooled by the glowing reviews here. It's just plain boring! 2/10 for the acting, otherwise 0/10

Erik Stuborn An exceptional film, especially for a first movie by a director who has been a television actor and not too prolific. With several moments of intense emotion perfectly developed and interpreted by the three main actors —Firth, Law and Kidman— that are superb all of them. Precious staging, music, lighting, recreation of the ambient of the beginning of the century and all those words, always those beautiful words, at its right time and in its proper place. Probably, over time, it will become one of the best films of the past year. Also I think every writer should see it.

Lyman Zerga Genius, Tom Wolfe... never had time to spend with himself. Only with people surrounding him, and characters, that formed his profound way of thinking about every word of life, love and family. These might not be the exact words to describe the truth within the eyes of the character, but the film made the best.

adonis98-743-186503 A chronicle of Max Perkins's time as the book editor at Scribner, where he oversaw works by Thomas Wolfe, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and others. Although Genius has some pretty great performances by an all star cast it suffers from a very thin script i found myself bored most of the time and even when tragic things happened i really did not feel any kind of connection with any of the characters but for people who like this kind of movies i think that they won't be disappointed but for the rest of the worldwide audience this will be a beautiful looking movie with good performances that simply doesn't do much or say much and i'm gonna give it an 5.5/10
