The Disaster Artist

— An interesting film with what I think of as a James Franco "feel" to it. It may be a little slow at the start, but I thought I was there to see a movie about a moviemaker—the story of how Tommy Wiseau came to write, direct, and star in 2003’s “The Room”—and it ended up being a film that can gnaw into the back of your heart because it's really about friendship and dreams. It’s a little weird and sometimes uncomfortable, but touching too, and the care with which Franco recreates scenes from the original, now cult, film is downright fascinating. By the time it was over, I was a fan.
