Funny to see there's so much negative reviews of this movie. Al those people really do not understand the message it sends. Loved it, cried about it.

Johnny Deep stages what's left of his private and acting life by adopting for his autobiopic a hybridization of the cancer movie with the college film, divided into six chapters, cinematically unnecessary (every topic has already been treated, and much better, in previous works with other directors and other protagonists), but profitable in the presence of avid fans of the two mentioned subgenres.

What"The Professor" starts off well: a dying upper-middle-class English professor decides to be nonconforming in the few months he realizes he has left in his life. Unfortunately, the movie's suspense dies ahead of its main character. What could have been an emotional roller coaster turns out to be a meandering train of many promising twists and turns, none of which leads anywhere. It is easy to see why Johnny Depp is chosen to portray the stage-four cancer victim, as he is able to bring his usual inebriated and drugged-out affectations to the role. Unfortunately, there are no other textures to his performance. This is possibly Mr. Depp's weakest acting in many years. Expand

I was completely bored.

This is perhaps a preamble to the films that await a clearly unmotivated Johnny Depp for the rest of his career.

It's an inspired story that let you think deeply about how you must value your life and do whatever you like without thinking of peoples' impressions and reactions, be yourself and don't pretend to be someone you're not.

Actually, "The Professor" is a good movie, great performance by Johnny as usual, but still there are some missing parts that could make "The Professor" a great movie.

I really enjoyed the movie. I assume people tend to be more honest when facing death.
I wonder if the low scores is because society is not ready to face honesty yet...

This movie really moved me. It taught me some really good life lessons. Johnny Depp played his character excellently. The moments he shares with his students, wife, daughter and best friend was the right quantity to move the story along. IThis movie really moved me. It taught me some really good life lessons.

Personally, I really enjoyed the movie. It was interesting, funny, and at times very emotional. I have no idea why this gets such low scores, but I feel they're very undeserved.

To Τhe Professor είναι μια απλή παραγωγή αλλά κυλάει ανώδυνα και γενικότερα υπάρχει ενδιαφέρον στον τρόπο που κυλάει στο σύνολο της η ταινία, ενώ όσο περνάει η ώρα εξελίσσεται με έναν τρόπο που κυλάει η ώρα.To Τhe Professor είναι μια απλή παραγωγή αλλά κυλάει ανώδυνα και γενικότερα υπάρχει ενδιαφέρον στον τρόπο που κυλάει στο σύνολο της η ταινία, ενώ όσο περνάει η ώρα εξελίσσεται με έναν τρόπο που κυλάει η ώρα.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a relatively quirky watch. There is some fairly poignant dialogue at times and its perhaps somewhat thought provoking, although many people may feel put off by the clear recklessness of the main (titular) character, as he does what he likes with his remaining time. As a dark comedy its ok, I found some moments amusing in terms of how Richard treats others in the University he works at and indeed there's a clear theme of social class and the loss of caring how peers view yourself, in view of the situation he finds himself in. I have to mention that Richard has a quite mumbly voice and so people may struggle to follow all the dialogue, although of course there's always subtitles (on most services for watching films anyway) but it may infuriate some people regardless. There's something about the clarity in which Richard finds with himself facing his impending death, that I found somehow admirable, even though he isn't an entirely likeable character, due to his actions. It's a weird film to explain in much detail and I suppose it is a bit cheesy in a way but its most certainly not bad either - its a quirky and watchable film, with the phrase 'carpe diem' very much relevant here. I would recommend this film to fans of Johnny Depp and thought-provoking dramas and possibly to fans of dark comedy, although it's not a big laugh out loud and outrageous sort of a film but it's a good character drama for the most part. I did feel that the final scene with him talking to his daughter was a bit too forcedly cheesy, in a way that didn't entirely sit with the rest of the film.

I feel this is the sort of film that's likely to be fairly memorable too, potentially.

Personally I found out that many "reviewers" didn't get film's massage. Anyway this movie is pretty interesting, and didactic.

It was a beautiful movie with with highs and lows of emotion. Everyone handles their devastating life changing news differently. Some never tell their family simply because they don't know how.

I feel Johnny did a smooth job allowing us to
It was a beautiful movie with with highs and lows of emotion. Everyone handles their devastating life changing news differently. Some never tell their family simply because they don't know how.

I feel Johnny did a smooth job allowing us to connect with this lost soul, trying to live in the now after realizing he was just existing. I feel that is what this movie is expressing to us. Don't wait to long make sure you are genuinely living your life.
