Genius is a very slow paste, dull and a pretty forgettable film, but it's only worth watching just for Colin Firth and Jude Law. Those two can't do wrong.

Not quite the work of genius I hoped it was going to be. Still, it's a reasonably interesting tale, for once taking away some of the attention afforded our literary greats - Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Thomas Wolfe, E.L. James (okay, scrub the last one) - and turning some of the film's focus to Max Perkins, the often unrecognized publisher who helped bring some classic works of literature to public attention.

Not as good as I wanted it to be when it came out, but not as bad as many of the reviews. A solid 'fair'...

I liked the movie much better than the average rating suggest. However, as this is a true story I've googeled protagonists prior going to the theater. I know I've spoiled the movie for myself, but I prefer this as I was able to follow every scene whithout guessing what is going on.
