Review of Manglehorn (2015) by Ryan B — 23 Jun 2015
A beautifully observed character study with Pacino giving a standout performance and David Gordon Green reminding people how fearless a director he can be. Playing with conventions and toying with narrative expectations, this is not a movie for everyone and if anyone else had directed it I'd say it was highly flawed.
But in David Gordon Green's hands, all of the flaws of a meandering plot and inconsequential story feel intentional and challenge the viewer to consider what themes might be lurking below the surface.
