Review of Permanent Midnight (1998) by Jay Boyar for Orlando Sentinel — 04 Feb 2013
Ben Stiller seems the perfect actor to play Hollywood writer- turned-junkie Jerry Stahl in Permanent Midnight. He's got that bitter humor, the intense eyes betraying an inner life of pain. And he comes off as pathetic.
The trouble is that it's hard to care -- even though the film is well-acted, artfully shot and at times haunting in its bleakness.
