MovieFan reviewed Half Nelson (2006)
Half Nelson
I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed watching Half Nelson. Ryan Gosling gives a very good performance and the movie was directed well by Ryan Fleck. My only criticism would be that I found the film a little slow half way through, but by the end of the movie I was satisfied that Half Nelson is a good quality film.
