    10/10
    A deep, evocative, and unique film.
    Sometimes I see a film, that is so moving, so focused, that I remember it for years afterwords. Such films are few and far between, and I believe this is one of them. Paul Giamatti put something so personal into this role, so enchanting that it makes you sit on the edge of your seat and say "Yes! Something real!" and then you just sit back and feel connected with the flow of events, and his single-minded pursuit. It really was a touching experience, I feel like the director really brought something foreword that is worthy of being watched by people, and that is also a rarity in terms of the massive amount of output out there. I hope you all go out and watch this movie when your are in the mood for a lesson, and a moving experience.
