The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

this movie left me crying. It bares a lot of similarities with my life. I wrote the letter to my father when I was 21. I imagine a lot of people with an extreme type A, workaholic dad should be able to identify with the story here... and then some. it's about feelings. it's about who you are. it's about a father and a child. it's about not being afraid to try different things. it's about being true to yourself, even if you're a late bloomer. The Ed Norton bit, makes me wonder about the relations Ed had with his father. I have a hunch he can also identify with what's being told here. after all he's the producer of the movie.
