Film about Tommy Wiseau, the artist who made a disaster.

Rating: Null/10 (11 June 2018)

This movie and the acting received some acclaim during the most recent awards season. My wife chose to skip it but I watched it at home on DVD from our local public library. James Franco produced and plays the lead role of Tommy Wiseau, who says he is from New Orleans but appears to be a naturalized US citizen originally from Poland.
Wiseau famously made "The Room" in 2003, a movie with an average IMDb rating of 3.6 with highly skewed voting, 23% "10" votes and 37% "1" votes, and is widely considered a disaster. Or as some say "the best worst movie ever made." Wiseau spent $6Million of his own money which itself is unexplained.
So this movie is mostly about that, how Wiseau decided to use his own funds to make the movie he wrote, starring himself. The writing is poor, the acting is poor, but it was made with great sincerity. Clips of many scenes are easily available in online videos.
James Franco is really superb as Tommy, as well as his brother Dave Franco as Tommy's friend and fellow actor, Greg. It is a very oddball movie but also excellent, I enjoyed it thoroughly. As an big bonus, after the credits start there are a series of scenes showing the original side-by-side with the same scenes in this movie.
