Finding Forrester

Finding Forrester is not on a subscription service in the US right now, but you can rent or buy it on Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, YouTube and Fandango. Cinova checks this every time you open the movie page.

Finding Forrester does not have a Cinova Score yet. A title needs at least 5 ratings before the community average shows, so for now the page shows a critic score of 6.8. Rate it in the app and you could be one of the first.

Gus Van Sant tells the story of a young African American man named Jamal who confronts his talents while living on the streets of the Bronx. He accidentally runs into an old writer named Forrester who discovers his passion for writing. With help from his new mentor Jamal receives a scholarship to a private school.

Finding Forrester was directed by Gus Van Sant and released in 2000. It stars Sean Connery, Rob Brown and F. Murray Abraham.
