    • Trivia
      When Paul Dano requested the rights to adapt Richard Ford's novel into this movie he received the following response: "I am grateful to you for your interest in my book, but I should also say this in hopes of actually encouraging you. My book is my book, your picture, were you to make it, is your picture. Your movie maker's fidelity to my novel is of no great concern to me. Establish your own values, means, goal. Leave the book behind so it doesn't get in the way."

    7/10
    Observatory observation
    The showcase of a fractured American reality is old news, but the way Paul Dano did this makes this one worth a watch.

    Paul's debut, I like how the camera work was static which made you observe the reality with more focus.

    Ed, did his role with complete justice. A silent guy who's observe reality with intensity.

    Jake, no formalities, is an outstanding actor but the appreciation here should be for Ed and Carey.

    A new perspective to Divorce.

    Although, like I mentioned, static camera work does give a slow pace vibe, at least it did for me.

    Anyways, 7/10.
