Absolutely brilliant

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

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

A bunch of great actors portraying a bunch of great writers (plus a publicist, though that would be an understatement for the role he played). As you can imagine the acting is superb, male and female talent have a lot to bite and chew off with their roles. The dialog is great and I was surprised this didn't do better or was promoted better (at least in Germany).Then again it's not an easy watch, what with lots of dialog and drama. But the tension it builds (especially concerning the relationships of the characters within) is really great. Flaws are here to be exposed and the actors cherish them, playing them perfectly. It's a period piece and therefor may interest some people more than others. But if you like good drama, you could do worse

I felt the title 'Genius' was not appropriate for how the story revolved in the film. It was more like a commitment and priority given to those undertaking than any other stuffs and that's why it looked like a genius from others eyes. Though I won't deny the experience always comes very handy. This film tells the story of ant editor and how he meets one of the best writers of his time. But they two together give the literature world some masterpiece works and that's the tale the film very genuinely presented to us.This story takes place around the 1930s. An enthusiastic writer and a genius editor develop a strong bond, especially from their professional, but it goes beyond that. When both the families struggle while these two men completely dissolved with their works. So the takes from different angles about the different issues nicely revealed.This biographical film is nothing short for any inspiration if you are looking for some. If you are a book lover, then this is not to be missed, especially if you have read the books by Thomas Wolfe. It's unbelievable that the film was made by a first time director. The actors, including the Colin Firth and Jude Law in the major roles was exceptionally good. We have seen many great films about the authors, so for a difference this film focused on an editor. It stands on the line of Bryan Cranston's 'Trumbo'. I hope you won't miss it, because it is so good if you appreciate the real life achievers, even those standing behind someone's achievements.8/10

Colin Firth is amazing. Nicole Kidman was great and funny. Jude law was on point. I can watch this movie a few times a month. Not a reader but I think I'm going to find his books and read it. I cried at the end (Laugh out loud). I think everyone should see this movie. 10 out of 10 easily. Whether a true story or not, a very good watch. Great messages and very moving. I haven't seen a movie with such truth and realism in a long time. I related to a lot of the dialogue and conversations which I appreciated. Anyone that has anything negative to say about this movie in any way doesn't understand what a movie is. Very well directed film. Really positive energy flows from this movie.
