This one is all about Cliff Robertson's (Oscar-winning) performance. He's brilliant in the role of Charly, both slow-witted and otherwise. 7/10.

I read “Flowers for Algernon” in school, so I was looking forward to this movie, but right when he was at the apex of his intelligence, it jumps into a 60’s psychedelic scene that seemed out of place and made me not want to watch it any further (I’m not uptight, but it just seemed thrown in there for no reason)

Based on the novel "Flowers For Algernon."
I believe it was a short story first. And that's the form I like the story best in.

Loved that movie when I was a kid. The music is also great. Watching it years later, it truly is a film of its time, with late 1960’s trendy camera effects.

Good movie. I think they did a female version of this called “Molly” or something with Elizabeth Shue, IIRC
