I really enjoyed this film. I didn't know Alexander Payne. . I appreciated the director's work. He did an excellent job. David Hemingson also excelled as a writer. Eigil Bryld did an excellent job with cinematography. For a moment, I thought the film was old. It was shot very well. It does not look digital at all. The cinematography was very good. Even though the film contains some humorous elements, it is primarily a drama film. Paul Giamatti may have given his best acting performance yet. Dominic Sessa is excellent, even though this is his first job. If he works with the right people and on the right projects, he will have a successful career. Da'Vine Joy Randolph performed well. She won an Academy Award. But I am not sure how much she deserved it. I wasn't impressed. Anyway, to me, it looks like a 70s Hollywood movie with a 70s style (it takes place in the 70s anyway). I'm impressed.
