Where to Watch Finding Forrester
- Wes CandelaSeptember 12, 2025I’m always going to love this movie. I love Sean the only bond Connery and I love what he does on screen effortlessly in the 80s 90s and in this film which was early 2000. I also love Gus Van Sant and always will ever since drugstore cowboy and my own private Idaho. Here he is coming off the success of Goodwill hunting, and I can tell he’s trying to knock this one out of the park, he hired a newcomer to play opposite Connery May not have been the best choice But the movie works for me. It doesn’t hold up as well, parts of it are rushed, we don’t see enough of Sean Connery and blah blah blah. I have some commentary, but I don’t make movies. I don’t write movies. I don’t know what it takes to go through the process. I watch films and television So I’m not gonna be a critic here on what they should’ve done in my opinion I’ll just say I love this film, Punch the keys!!!
