Reactions to this film — which worked well for me — have been quite instructive as to the very different things people want from biopics. I’m not looking to Bradley Cooper for information. Give me evocation instead.
Also can’t sign off on the idea that the film fails its subject by not focusing more on his “career” or his “creative process”, neither of which is intrinsically great dramatic fodder. People are their families and their relationships too. These things are interesting.
@GuyLodge I just heard an interview with G. Clooney about that rowing movie and how he insisted on everyone being an athlete and rowing properly and I'm like... kinda who cares?? Are they acting, or are they rowing? Am I going to know the difference?
