Good Will Hunting(1997)
Set in working-class South Boston, a psychological drama about a 20-year-old lad who works as a janitor at MIT and spends most of his time with his coarse friends at the neighborhood bar. Blessed with a certain genius, Will, who has never attended college, can summon obscure historical references based on his exceptional photographic memory. He can also solve difficult mathematical problems with an...

The image here has some of the hallmarks of Van Sant's less mainstream, indie efforts, with Jean-Yves Escoffier's beautiful cinematography favoring low light and a generally less than glamorous ambience. That said, the Blu-ray looks brilliantly sharp most of the time, with extremely well saturated color and excellent fine detail. A lot of the film plays out in gorgeous lush golden tones, and the Blu-ray captures that yellow end of the spectrum magnificently. The Boston locations also look incredible, with good depth of field and some wonderful variations in natural light wafting across the image. There are some very minor issues with crush in some of the darkest scenes (the famous showdown scene in the bar has a few problems with shadow detail), but otherwise this is a very good looking transfer that should delight the film's many fans. Good Will Hunting Blu-ray, Audio QualityGood Will Hunting is granted a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix which may strike some as a bit of overkill considering the film's small scale, dialogue driven ambitions. But there is sporadic and effective surround activity here, with fairly consistent ambient environmental effects dotting the soundfield, and some more boisterous activity in some of the group scenes that spill into the side and rear channels. Danny Elfman's gorgeous and rather atypically lyrical score also sounds magnificent here, as does Elliot Smith's plaintive "Miss Misery." (Smith is another hometown Portland hero who unfortunately committed suicide a few years after the film's release). Balance between score, effects and dialogue is strong, and while this isn't the most immersive track in history, it's very artfully done and quite subtly effective. Good Will Hunting: Other Editions
