A Confident Directorial Debut by JGL!

Rating: 7/10 (19 June 2014)

Joseph Gordon-Levitt has proved himself as an actor of substance, time and again. But his confident directorial debut with 'Don Jon', proves he's indeed, multi-talented. Also Written by the man himself, this comedy-drama finds the right-tone & hits the correct notes.
'Don Jon' Synopsis: A New Jersey guy dedicated to his family, friends, and church, develops unrealistic expectations from watching porn and works to find happiness and intimacy with his potential true love.
'Don Jon' is sexually explicit, verbose & even predictable after a point, but what keeps the wheels moving is the smartly Written Screenplay by JGL. He narrates a story of emotions, sex & love, aggressively & effectively. His confident Direction deserves brownie points, too. Cinematography & Editing earn a special mention.
Performance-Wise: JGL enacts Don Jon, superbly. Scarlett Johansson is irresistible. Julianne Moore, as always, is terrific. Others lend very good support.
On the whole, 'Don Jon' is a true winner from JGL.
