One from the artist's heart.

Rating: 6/10 (8 January 2018)

Obviously a deeply personal film, Franco's latest (before the tide of four films almost ready for this year), is one from the heart, not so much for cinema itself as for the pathos that drives some people to create cinema.
Even if you don't get the real "Room" allusions, even if this poor man's (a bit moody) Cassavetes is not your cup of tea (let alone if you haven't seen your "Ed Wood" several times over), "The Disaster Artist" almost perfectly captivates the moment when a work of "art" is revered for the polar opposite reasons it was made while at the same time exposing its auteur's heartbreaking need for recognition and addressing the perennial idea that art, like truth, is in the eyes of the beholder.
Not a small feat.
