So I went in with little knowledge of the film and little expectation. I came out really liking this film in an odd way. Consequently, the 5 chatty, 50+ gaggle of women in the theater with me did not feel the same, they did not care for this picture. Suck it ladies, here is why I liked it:
It is a honest, weird, funny, and dramatic story told pretty well via characters that seem incredibly real. Watching the dynamics and the relationships of all the characters was just plain interesting. Holy shit does Micheal Keaton look OLD in this film....but he delivers a wonderfully complicated performance. You are always wondering "is he losing it or am I losing it?".
The camera work did make a bit queasy in parts with all that jiggling around but it was entertaining from start to finish.
I also like to think that Edward Norton acts exactly like this in real life. C'mon, you know he does.
