Good Will Hunting

As I've said before, I'm a harsh judge, so when I give Good Will Hunting 7 out of 10, you can say that I was pretty impressed. Ben Affleck was good in Gone Girl but his authorship (with Matt Damon) of the screenplay for this film is a greater achievement.

In essence an old fashioned melodrama dressed up with tough modern language (which some might judge overdone) and eminently watchable. Robin Williams was well suited to sentimentality and this film has it in bucket loads. Good stuff and available on Netflix.

Also on Netflix we have been watching the American version of The Killing, having enjoyed the Danish original. Seattle makes a good substitute for Scandinavia. Far cry from Frasier Crane mind.
