Directed by Farhad Safinia, The Professor and the Madman leans on a strong ensemble — Mel Gibson, Sean Penn, Natalie Dormer — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about history titles of 2019.
