Director : Paul Weitz
Running Time : 102 mins
Aspiring writer Nick Flynn (Dano) takes a job in a Boston homeless shelter, where he encounters his father Jonathan (De Niro) after over twenty years of being absent from his life. When Jonathan takes up residence in the shelter, Nick starts to worry that he might end up like his father.
This slow paced drama really wastes some of the talents involved; turning what could have been a nice look at the life of a young man who wants nothing more than to not turn into his father into an at times boring melodrama. Dano and De Niro do their best with the material available, but the subtlety of Dano morphing into his father is partly spoilt by the choice to make De Niro mentally unstable, when Dano shows little sign of a similar affliction, and really doesn’t do the memoir on which this is based justice.
