I picked This film up on Netflix not really knowing why or what reason I had for choosing it until I put it in and then I realized why, it is starring two of my favorite actors Paul Dano and Robert DeNiro, who are playing father and son and both aspiring writers. DeNiro’s character is basically a mentally ill aspiring writer who never really finishes a book. Paul Dano’s character has it a little bit more together than DeNiros and actually completes a book in the end and starts a family. He did however struggle with addiction like his father but was able to overcome it. It was very well acted.
This is a rather depressing tale, kind of a downer of a movie but I did find it entertaining. I would only recommend it if you’re a diehard Paul Dano or Robert DeNiro fan.
