Clearly one of the best movies this year, one of the best I've seen in a very long time. Paul Giamatti is Barney Parnofsky - it's incredible to watch his transformation throughout the film. The other characters are awesome too. The movie is funny, poignant, dark and exhilerating all at once. And the fact that Mordecai Richler is Canadian is a bonus - the film takes place in Montreal. I loved it big time. I think it should take Oscar this year!!!!
an excellent movie--with Giametti that showed us acting at his best--some great Montreal scenes and Rome scenes --a great tribute to Mordecai Richler
If you like movies that are real life, than this is a movie for you. It was okay, and if you choose to see it when it comes to TV, so great loss.
It was great, good acting.
