Depp is his usual fantastic self

Rating: Null/10 (9 July 2001)

This film reminded me of that other Depp drug-soaked film - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. A bit more realistic this time, it focuses on trauma in George Jungs personal life rather than labouring the point that drugs screw you up - although this is not omitted.
Ray Liotta is very good as Jung's father. His make-up is fantastic - he looks like Ray, but aged about 60.
The cinematography is extremely good also. Most of the scenes are expertly shot. There is some humour which is needed in such a sad and tragic story.
Finally, I have to say that I can't remember the last Hollywood film that didn't have a sickly-sweet, happy ever after type ending. Its good to see a "based on a true story" film that seems believeable.
