Mel Gibson and Sean Penn deliver knockout performances in this true tale of genius, obsession and the Oxford English Dictionary. Prof. James Murray (Gibson) enlisted the help of the whole country in his project and received 10,000 entries from Dr. William Minor (Penn), a patient at Broadmoor Asylum who became his closest friend. Given our current political moment and people’s resistance to having their worldview challenged, this film offers an important message about finding community and redemption through a shared quest for knowledge.
