The Professor and the Madman Ratings & Reviews

  • camer6653June 3, 2025
    The movie froze on an advert retried 4 times exactly on the same spot.
  • Viktor AharonMay 13, 2025
    I fail to see why the RT score is so low. Sean Penn once again purveys excellence in his character. Rest of the cast does a great job, he just has a knack for moving characters. The story is well developed and eye opening to a world we don't think of. Great on screen dynamics.
