I also attended the World Premiere of "Man in the Chair" at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.
Authentic and revealing. A rare glimpse at the once upon a time glamour; when the curtains come down. Michael Angarano is once again the ringmaster that leads you through the story; through the darkness and heartrending topics that the film explores, Michael's showmanship and charisma is like a lighthouse beacon; keeping you grounded with his dramatic performance.
With Depth: from the shallow end to the deep end. There are several dyads created quickly. But the performances were powerful. And the bond between Christopher and Michael compel a realistic richness that is uncanny and common. As I compare this bond to the quick relationships I've seen created between college students and eccentric college professors on the first day of class, who become the teacher's favorite. I just wonder if Michael worked and researched this concept just like Catherine Hardwicke said Michael worked hard to prepare for his role in "Lords of Dogtown", or if it just came natural.
I felt the film was definitely worth seeing, powerful performances add to this rarely talked about subject.
