Review of American Pastoral (2016) by Peter Rainer for Christian Science Monitor — 20 Oct 2016
The film is a dutiful attempt to convey some of the vehemence of the novel – of the counterculture of the 1960s and early ’70s especially – but McGregor, making his directorial debut, lacks the temperament to do this era justice.
He’s an innocent bystander in the melee.
