Full Review | Mar 4, 2024 The sad thing is that The Shawshank Redemption, a so-so film, would have made a terrific little movie.

   Is the Shawshank Redemption a depressing story?

   • "The Shawshank Redemption" is not a depressing story, although I may have made it sound that way. There is a lot of life and humor in it, and warmth in the friendship that builds up between Andy and Red. There is even excitement and suspense, although not when we expect it.
