In an attempt to justify this 2006 film via review, the reviewer realizes why it took her so long to write a review on her most favorite film of all time.

Probably the most amazing thing about Nicholas Hytner’s The History Boys (I call it that because I am talking about the 2006 film as opposed to Alan Bennett’s The History Boys, the stage play from which this film is based on, though Hytner did direct the original stage play as well) is the sheer magnitude of themes and issues the film tackles.  It covers topics as broad as the value of education to much more personal themes like the pains of self-discovery and self-realization.  The depth and scope of this film does remain unmatched in my modest repertoire of motion picture.
