Why Oscar(s)?

Rating: 6/10 (1 March 2015)

I am after 2 hours of watching and still wondering and asking myself the same question: why to give an Oscar to this movie? OK, it's not an awful movie and it triggers and debates a little upon the idea of passing of time and that the time that you have missed never comes back to you but still, you need a 2 hour movie to circle this idea?
This is a sad comedy. You have an actor that is struggling to be someone in a new context of acting and after he was someone in his early acting stages. But it seems that he will never shine as bright as he shined in the past.
He missed some great parts of his life and when he understands this and the fact that it's quite too late to take back some moments of the past he decides that it's all over.
But his gesture is not at all heroic! And obtaining again the shining that he was searching for after his decision is quite silly. But yeah, maybe this is the world we are living in right now..
