Review of Off the Black (2006) by Desson Thomson for Washington Post — 21 Dec 2006
Writer-director James Ponsoldt's film treats big subjects -- loneliness, coming-of-age and father-son relationships -- with such half-baked conviction, it's a wonder the screen doesn't redden with embarrassment.
Which makes it all the more gratifying to watch Nolte pulverize the dramatic banality around him.
