firstly, i came across this movie when i'm scrolling instagram pages. i found this movie on some film page, they gave a very good review, immediately i watched the movie. but it diassppointed me a bit as it not reached to my heart.
as we know jake gyllenhaal is a very good actor, coming to this movie he came across his stardom and stood as a hopeless father,writer,lover.he gave a performance which is inevitable.along with jake, amy adams also played a vital role.
to the next, the story is narrated well, even though it had some confusions. as director said he gave a lot of symbolisms and metaphors where i think it doesn't needed to the public.regarding the climax it gave me a lot of conclusion.
rather than above points, the cinematography, sound and other technical details were very good.there are some moments where you can feel engaged and some moments may feel bore, but overall it depends upon perspective.
In conclusion, its a good movie watch with low expectations it never disspoints you.but dont forget to watch the hidden details of the film where you can feel surprising
