This film will be a front-runner in the Oscars. Giamatti, Sessa & Da'Vine Outstanding and should be nominated. Runaway winner as Best Film of 2013 regardless of Oscar outcomes, so do NOT miss this film.
One of Giamatti's finest performances - refreshingly understated - bravo Paul 👏. Deserves Best Actor in Leading Role 🙏.
In addition, Deerfield Academy student Dominic Sessa got this, his first movie role, via on campus auditions - an amazing discovery and performance that is worthy of Oscar attention.
Ensemble cast highly competent, including a spotlight supporting performance by Da'Vine Joy Randolph who is the favorite and most likely of the cast members to win an Oscar.
Period film circa 1970/71 set in the land of New England Prep Schools. Messaging positive and the film safe for adolescents and older. Covers a lot of emotional and psychological territory. Like to see this film come in with at least 4 awards nominations including one for the brilliant Screenplay by David Hemingson.
Highly recommended!
