This movie is beautifully written and directed, a in-depth story of Val Kilmer and how he started in the movie business. Starting off as a stage performer and meeting other young actors as Sean Penn and Kevin Bacon on stage to his own personally written version of Mark Twain. It also goes into his battle with throat cancer and how he beat it, but leaving his voice heavy because of the breathing tube. His son narrates the movie with the guidance of his father to the story. I give this movie all the thumbs up in the world.
