    Well made, great performances, and beautifully shot (a requirement when your film is about a photographer and your director is a superb DoP) but suffers the problem that a lot of biopics have where the story is harder to find, and becomes a sort of series of anecdotes instead of something that flows.

    I was far too sober for this.

    I guess you can be epic, cute, mind-bending, gross, action-packed and heartwarming in a single film.

    Well played. Well played.

    Back when I was a student in film school every now and then someone would make a feature-length for their grad film. This feels like one of those grad films.

    I'm pretty sure I hated this; it did make me appreciate the films my own students make more, but it seems like the sort of film people claim they love to sound clever. I was trying to think of something I liked about this but it seems like The Emperor's New Clothes.
