Funny and touching

Rating: 9/10 (28 January 2018)

Funny and surprisingly touching, perfectly balances eccentricity, humor and respect, that works whether you've seen the source material or not. "The Disaster Artist" is a sweet, emotionally engaging tribute to friendship, the movies and the importance of dreams. James Franco has not just made a really sharp, funny movie about movie making. With his brother Dave Franco brought the same creative energy to their project that motivated Tommy Wiseau in his own endeavor. The difference is, they have talent. The story of Greg Sestero and Tommy Wiseau is quite special, and I don't regret experiencing it through this excellent film, even if I still cannot believe this was a real movie made by a real person.
