An inner-city teacher struggling with addiction forms an unlikely bond with a young student who catches him in a compromising position in director Ryan Fleck's feature-length adaptation of his own award-winning short film Gowanus, Brooklyn. Despite his dedication to the junior-high students who fill his classroom, idealistic teacher Dan Dunne (Ryan Gosling) leads a secret life that the majority of his students will never know. When Dunne's drug-soaked nightlife begins to bleed over into his daytime hours and troubled student Drey (Shareeka Epps) makes a startling discovery, the tenuous bond that forms between the pair soon leads to a warm friendship that could either lead them down a dangerous path or provide the human companionship needed to see things from a fresh perspective and start life anew. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Some New Trailer For Half Nelson
New Review For Movie Half Nelson
Ryan Gosling's self-destructive teacher is easily the year's most mesmerizing character study. And he's hardly the only reason to see this film. Shareeka Epps anchors her scenes as Drey with a self-possession way beyond her years.

'Half Nelson': A Magnetic Ryan Gosling
Joe Baltake-Passionate Moviegoer

Gosling and Epps, an unusual but effective pairing, show real commitment in their performances.
Dave Calhoun-Time Out

The movie comes down to Gosling's spot-on performance and how we feel about it.
Roger Moore-Orlando Sentinel

Gosling is indeed amazing as a bewildered, depressed New York schoolteacher who is slipping into dire drug addiction; it's exactly the kind of star turn in a smaller film that Academy voters could (and should) notice.
Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com

Although the subject promises more than the film can deliver, there is compensation in Gosling's convincing, unromanticized portrayal of someone seeking escape from longing and loss that neither he nor the movie can really define.
Terry Lawson-Detroit Free Press

Indie inner-city drama with drug-addict teacher.
Charles Cassady-Common Sense Media

"Half Nelson" elegantly tiptoe around its elephant in the room: Dan's most compelling instruction to not let Drey enter the drug trade is his own destruction. That point of panic turns into something approaching penance.
Nick Rogers-Suite101.com

The filmmakers bask disingenuously in their tidy vision of border-busting healing
Fernando F. Croce-CinePassion

A sometimes subtle, sometimes bombastic (Gosling's performance ranges from brilliant to bug-eyed) parable about class, race, power, and the dialectics of family relationships.
Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix

The movie hits a stream of false notes when Dunne's students deliver oral reports on Civil Rights struggles that could only have been plagiarized. The film's ending isn't only meager, it's utterly listless.
Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com

Gosling is up for an Oscar (R) for his work in Half Nelson, and there's no question he earned the nomination.
Heather Huntington-ReelzChannel.com

Half Nelson trades melodrama for authenticity, cliche heroics for genuine heart, cheap cinematic parlor tricks for blessed restraint.
Brandon Fibbs-BrandonFibbs.com

We've gotten so close to these characters (and they to each other) that we don't want to let them go.
Joe Lozito-Big Picture Big Sound

It is, in fact, a fine piece of work: reticent, intelligent, wholly devoid of triumphalism or self-pity.
Philip French-Observer [UK]

It's hardly a film which trumpets its virtues but that's part of the pleasure to be had from it. It doesn't know how good it is.
Sandra Hall-Sydney Morning Herald

While the students first mock Marxist dialectics and notions of oppression applied to the everyday, they are eventually eagerly embracing the rebellious spirit of Attica and Allende in class presentations that provide euphoric momentum.
Prairie Miller-WBAI Web Radio

Looks to me like a self conscious film that thrives on its own negativity. Studied, anti-establishment, arthouse cinema that gloats over its moral superiority %u2013 which is rather ironic.
Urban Cinefile Critics-Urban Cinefile

It's a thoughtful character study with Gosling simply tremendous as the functioning addict, who seems to use crack to anaesthetise him from his inability to form adult relationships.
-Daily Mirror [UK]

A riveting study in dislocation and connection, hurt and healing, with Gosling revealed as potentially the most gifted actor of his generation.
Andy Lowe-Total Film

It's impressively adult, sure-footed filmmaking, and that Best Actor nod was definitely deserved.
Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph

Dunne [Gosling] is an enjoyable and impressive creation, justifiably recognised with an Oscar nomination for Gosling earlier this year.
Andrew Pulver-Guardian [UK]

It's the gritty script and sheer quality of the performances that distinguish this parable.
James Christopher-Times [UK]

High ideals clash with Bush-era realities in this class debut - well balanced, wonderfully performed, and refreshingly free from cliche.
Anton Bitel-Film4

An original work that is moving, not without humour, fly-on-the-wall realistic and uplifting.
Angie Errigo-Empire Magazine
