Much better than I remember from my first viewing.

Rating: 5/10 (16 May 2020)

A movie about the impact of a person's childhood on their adult work MUST have good flashbacks in order to fully succeed, and the flashback's here (despite Farrell's nice performance) are dull and ham-fisted. Otherwise, this is a really gentle and kind-hearted film. All the scenes in the writing room are wonderful, giving an entertaining representation of the collaborative process and the different things that each individual ego brings to the table.
