This cast sounds like an all star team. Robert De Niro, Julianne Moore, Oliva Thrilby, Lili Taylor, and a slew of other people that we’ve seen in a lot of other things. With a cast like that you’d assume that it’s a Scorsese type of movie. It’s not. The movie actually stars Paul Dano. He’s working at a homeless shelter when he comes back into contact with his long lost troubled father. He then deals with the idea of being alone and getting him back into his life. De Niro plays the father and seems to be in an interesting role for once. I’m not saying De Niro is a bad actor AT ALL, but I AM saying he doesn’t attempt to showcase range very often. This is one of those rare occasions. I could imagine this movie being an award winner come the time. You don’t put those kinds of ingredients together and get anything all that bad.
