Guest Artist

Found completely by accident but my goodness this film is wonderful. Only 85 minutes long but worth every second of my time. Daniels is brilliant.

Taut writing and standout performances make "Guest Artist" a gem not to be overlooked. Daniels is in top form as a tormented, brilliant playwright viewing life from the bottom of the bottle. Newcomer Thomas Macias holds his own as the adoring, aspiring playwright confronted with his hero's feet of clay. Gripping.

This is a film where two people keep talking and talking. It seems like they never stop talking. It meanders until the final few minutes, when the conversation becomes meaningful. It may be an artistically accomplished film, but it's not for me.

This is a play, my friends. So enjoy it as such and you won't be disappointed at all. Jeff Daniels is, of course, brilliant. And newcomer Thomas Macias matches him set per set. WOW! It's fast and furious in word volley. The payoff is at the end when you find out exactly what .............. well I can't tell you, you'll just have to watch it yourself.

In the mood to watch something different? Like a play really. My thoughts on it? When the teacher is ready, the teacher will appear. Who do you think was the teacher? . Who do you think was the student? We watched on Kanopy app via our Library card. Jeff Daniels, mind blowing soliloquy near the end. Keep going through the slow middle.

So I am rambling on until I reach the required six hundred characters Are met. I'm intrigued to seeing if anyone watches it after saying this comment.... peace out.
