Adrien Brody brings such soul to this movie, his character's troubled life, his choices and reactions, his art, the quiet power of his intelligence and point of view move the twists and turns of the story along with growing connection to this human being--his fate, family and companions, passions, commitments . I didn't want the movie to end, but also needed to see how this man's life resolved. I cared when ongoing oppositions crossed him, how he faced them, the developing complications pulling me in slowly and inexorably. I loved Brody's magnetic face and work; I will watch this movie more than once or twice.
