Follow your dream...

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 2018)

The Disaster Artist is one of 2017's best pictures. It's an insightful tribute to outsider filmmaking and a genuine chronicle of friendship and artistic struggle. At the center is James Franco, who brilliantly captures the outlandish and ambitious spirit of Tommy Wiseau. It's not easy to get your name out there, to please an audience, and to work with a group of people who don't believe in your vision, and this film explores these conflicts and encourages you to follow your dream. It could've dived deeper into Sestero's memoirs, but that's really scraping the bottom of the barrel. The focus is where it should be and it's fascinating nonetheless.
