"Len and Company" feels like a character study without much character. We get little bits of information here and there, but nothing very interesting. Rhys Ifans seems to be playing himself.
The story is something to do with a curmudgeonly music producer who lives alone when his son comes to visit. Soon after, the pop star he helped create also shows up, though I was never really sure as to why.
If you're interested in a "realistic" take on this situation, "Len and Company" may actually be up your alley. It feels naturalistic to the point of tedium. The actors all come across as very natural, and there is no attempt to give them distinct personalities. The direction is also really colourless. I got that the main character is supposed to be a closed-off genius of some description, but he just seemed like a jerk. I couldn't bring myself to care about any of this.
