| 01.18.18 | Internet | My favorite time of year continues to pay off... This was pretty great. Franco manages to pull some compassion out of this bizarre story of Tommy Wiseau and the making of his movie The Room. That the film re-enactment scenes are done so well are an indicator that Franco has real love for the subject and I think that shines through for the whole movie. I hate to say this but, comparing to the other Franco-directed films that I've seen (The Ape and Child of God), having such a familiar structure with the script really helps. It's kind of like Franco's own version of a "real hollywood movie" in that it follows the standard making-of formula pretty closely. Maybe his more recent stuff is all more conventional like this but his earlier work was... not so much. So yeah, this was really good! It's an embarrassment of riches these days... my HD is on fire. |
