Great film

It's a very interesting movie that allowed us to discover the life of Jack Garfein. Tessa Louise Salomé did a great job as she offered a unique view of Garfein's life. The Flashbacks were well introduced in the storyline as they were linked to the present. He was ahead of his time and his point of view on Hollywood was really interesting to learn. In our generation, we don't watch old movies anymore, but this movie made us want to discover some (The Giant for example). Also we find it kinda odd that Garfein's movies didn't get any success as they treat important subjects (like military issues, rapes,...).

Too bad he died before directing one last movie.

Emotional

This movie is very interesting. We feel all the emotion and the pain of Jack Garfein in his voice. The relation between his own life and the film that he realized is explained in a very good way. The flashbacks which happened in the all film are powerful but it can also lose some viewers. We get closer of the character by learning more and more about his story and how he became a great realisator. To talk about the movie's realisation, it is original. The pictures and the music add an aspect of sadness and reality. That's why we felt like we were with him.

Nevertheless, it was a little bit long.

We recomand you this movie if you like real story and biopic.
