Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Making this movie represented a rather risky venture for Mel Gibson--it was his first effort at directing, and the role demanded that he deliberately obscure his sexy matinee-idol looks. Gibson seems to truly relish his Lon Chaney Jr.-esque turn as Justin McLeod, a reclusive former teacher with half his face and body badly scarred, and a dark, secret past. The folks in McLeod's postcard-pretty Maine town have dubbed him "Hamburger Head" and exchange malicious gossip about him. But one boy is needy enough to dare to penetrate the fortress McLeod has built against the outside world. Fatherless Chuck Norstadt (Nick Stahl) is so anxious to escape his dysfunctional family that he pesters McLeod into becoming his mentor. Their relationship for the most part avoids the sort of sticky sentimentality one might expect from Hollywood. Chuck is a real, credible kid, a petulant pain with a chip on his shoulder, and McLeod is no Mr. Chips. It's fun, and quite moving, to watch these two cranky misfits battle their way toward a friendship that will change both their lives. Margaret Whitton (Major League) gives an unaffected performance as Chuck's narcissistic mother. "I'm just not cut out for this mothering racket," she tells her rudderless children, as she flits from man to man. Gibson's own personal code of honor, we suspect, is very much in evidence in this movie's message: One must take responsibility for what one wants in life. --Laura Mirsky

Justin McLeod has been living the life of a reculse for seven years, ever since his face was horribly disfigured. Known as "Hamburger Head" to the locals, he's the subject of many rumors and wild stories. Chuck is a young boy determined to get into the same military as his father, despite his mother's protests and his halfsisters' mocking, even if it means studying all through the summer. Desperate for a tutor, Chuck encounters the reclusive McLeod, and together they begin to help each other deal ... Read More

I saw this movie years ago, and watching it again was a real joy. It is one of Mel Gibson's best (he's not so overpowering as usual) but the real star of the movie is Nick Stahl. He was really a great actor even as a young boy. The movie is a tear-jerker, but is just a wonderful story. It makes you think about what is really important in life. The movie has beautiful scenery, too.

That's a strange film indeed. The situation is not innocuous, far from it. It cannot be considered as being a simple emotional or sentimental film, not even a social film. The stake is a lot more than that. It is a cultural film, a film about a whole culture that is being stifled, destroyed just out of bigotry, the culture of the male maturation of boys. Not even the sexual bigotry that is actually brandished to justify the rejection, and that's why it is not social or sentimental or even emotional. ... Read More

I really enjoyed this film because it told the all important lesson that we all must learn: do not judge. Jesus said it, the catholic church teaches it, and western civilization would be a lot better if we all practiced it. When we all walk by people everyday we must never presume to know what they are going through. This movie had a profound impact on my life, and taught me that nothing is ever as it seems. It also shows all of us what we could learn if we open up to the right people and let them bless ... Read More

The Man Without a Face starring and directed by Mel Gibson is a superb drama with a little bit of comedy thrown in. Gibson's performance is so strong and intense, I couldn't take my eyes off of him. Nick Stahl is also excellent and I think this was his feature film debut if I am correct, glad he continues to act today. This film deals with an unlikely friendship in a narrow-minded town, I really enjoyed this film from beginning to end. I highly recommend it!!
