Review of Being Flynn (2012) by Marcdoyle — 04 Mar 2012

The film has some interesting moments and sheds some empathetic light on the plight of the homeless, but DeNiro's character is just so arrogant and annoying that he makes the film almost unwatchable. There's not enough of a payoff for having to endure all of the father's crap.

Olivia Thirlby is good in a smallish role, and Lily Taylor is awesome in a very quick appearance - almost playing a grown-up version of her character in Say Anything. Paul Dano is somewhat interesting an unpredictable, but even his "shortcomings" made me groan a bit.
