Being Flynn (2012)
Written and directed
by Paul Weitz this film based on “Another Bullshit Night in Suck
City” stars Robert De Niro, Paul Dano, Olivia Thirlby and Julianne
Moore. A man in his twenties works at a homeless shelter where he
runs into his estranged father who is now homeless.
There is a lot to
enjoy about this film that looks at both homelessness as the
protagonist seeks to over come a number of issues relating to his
parents. I liked the idea of the father and son fighting over
narrative control of the story and the way it reflects how things
often are in real life. Robert De Niro gives a really good
performance as does Paul Dano but it would have been nice to see a
little more of Julianne Moore.
4/5
