Ben
Meyers’ rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì
Genius—good biographical snippet of the life of Thomas Wolfe—accesses the
talents of Jude Law to interpret Wolfe’s character. The movie has its
entertaining moments and is somewhat worth a watch. However, some confusion
reigns in scenes such as the one where his wife becomes upset after Wolfe sells
his first book until it seems she is upset about the time spent with the editor
rather than her. But, this scene comes bluntly to the screen and does not
introduce itself easily. In addition, Jude Law seems to over act or under act
some of the scenes. The film is watchable and produces an interesting
conclusion.Film Poster Courtesy of Wikipedia
