Very good, yet a bit overlong film about three veterans reuniting and finding resolutions for old and new wounds. Richard Linklater's adaptation was good, moving and offered potential for great performances, and it delivered, however 30 minutes less and some cutting could have served it well.
PErformance wise it as excellent. Bryan Cranston was simply brilliant in his Jack Nicholson-mode. What a force of nature performance. One of the greatest works of the year for this versatile actor and I am shocked that he did not get any kind of serious attention. Steve Carell was very good in a very calm role. I preferred him in "Battle of the Sexes" slightly but still he once again proved how good he is when he is serious.
Laurence Fishburne had his moments but was by far the weakest of the trio. Was not too impressed by him in general.
Decent soundtrack and some really good dialogues and monologues.
Nomintations for:
Best Actor in a Supporting Role: Bryan Cranston*
Best Adapted Screenplay
Rating: 8/10
