Review of The Disaster Artist (2017) by Linttaflamingo — 01 Dec 2017

I saw The Disaster Artist in an early screening on 25th of November. The screening was packed with people who had all seen The Room, and everyone applauded during the end credits. The Disaster Artist is an excellent adaptation of the book.

It's filled with great performances, especially James Franco as Tommy Wiseau who was just hysterical at points, and Dave Franco who was also really good as Greg Sestero and unsurprisingly he and James Franco had great chemistry together.

Also the directing - while not mind-blowing - was pretty good too, there was a lot of going on in every scene which made it interesting to watch and especially one scene at the movie set which was a long one shot of just yelling and arguing that was just hilarious.

The movie also never actually laughed at Tommy Wiseau, it was actually really sad to see him sad in a couple of scenes, it was handled brilliantly. Although the film never really developed any other characters than Wiseau and Sestero, it was still pretty fantastic.

I strongly recommend it to everyone and especially fans of The Room.
