Reviews
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
