Opowieść o niezwykłej przyjaźni łączącej autora bestsellerowej książki, zdobywcę Nagrody Pulitzera, i czarnoskórego nastolatka z Bronksu, obdarzonego wielkim talentem pisarskim. Choć pochodzą z dwóch różnych światów, zbliża ich miłość do literatury. Do spotkania między uczniem i mentorem dochodzi przypadkowo. Okna mieszkania Forrestera wychodzą na boisko szkolne, gdzie nastolatek Jamal Wallace wraz z kolegami trenuje koszykówkę. Grający chłopcy zauważają, że od pewnego czasu ktoś obserwuje ich z ukrycia. (Ale kino+)

Finding Forrester is a skilfully made drama with nice humanistic ideas. However, we have seen its plot motifs a hundred time before in other films.

An overly pleasant and politically correct afternoon coffee that has nothing to offer to a demanding viewer. Sean Connery does not show any wildness and the very smart black man is similar situation. F. Murray Abraham, on the other hand, plays another fantastic villain, and it must be noted that he does it with his own grace. Narratively, the film is unbalanced, with a ton of deaf spots, unnecessary dialogues, and hard-to-digest gestures. The idea, however, is there, as well as Connery's charisma. The best part will most likely be the conclusion of the whole project, even though it is a typically clichéd version of “that's it!”. But it comes at a moment when you don’t really expect it, when you are caught up in the rapid decline of the plot. Unfortunately, a lot of time goes by before this slightly wannabe existentially film takes off, during you end up bored.

Sean Connery was perfectly suited for the role of a mentor, who is a bit eccentric and somewhat afflicted by old age and all he has experienced. The setting of the ghetto, from which it's difficult for any thinker to emerge, even though there is hope, is a sure bet, much like the entire film, whose message in the end still manages to impact the viewer.
