more than skin deep

Rating: 9/10 (1 May 2014)

This is a great movie IMO. I almost never review a film online, but I will make an exception and pad my review to meet the criteria of a minimum of ten lines. It is without reservation that I must say Joseph Gordon-Levitt has created a great character and a memorable, great script. Tony Danza is superb as the dad. It's very nice to see Glenne Headly playing the mom. She is an under appreciated actress. I don't think it's a spoiler to comment that Jon's character transition from muscle bound, superficial porn-obsessed Jersey ass bandit to Ester's (Julianne Moore's) intimate is really well done. Really an impressive movie, and very topical, very today... This is now one of my favorite films and that is a pretty short list...
