This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Deals with all of the creepiness of Woody's stuff, issues of parenting, how men treat women, letting go, growing up, and more. A really great movie even though Charlie Day was a tad unnecessary and a couple of the deep focus shots were obvious process compositions. Don't dismiss it because C.K. is a creepy, this is solid stuff.
And if Louis CK makes you that uncomfortable, buckle up.. he's not going anywhere. Hes no Roman Polanski, Phil Spector or Bill Cosby....
John Malkovich delivers on this sublime dialogue. Pamela Adlon and Edie Falco are also great.
So much wasted talent. John Malkovich, Charlie Day, Albert Brooks, Edie Falco, Helen Hunt...no one could save this film. The writing was incredibly poor, especially for Louis C.K.'s standard. The dialogue was jilted. The direction was generic. The music was out of place. The black & white cinematography looked like a bad sitcom trying to do a one-off tribute episode to Children of Paradise. Save yourself the 2 hours and don't bother.
