Danny Collins

Un peu ennuyeuse et monotonie, avec un élément distinctif - le léopard de l'acteur, dont on ne peut pas vraiment sympathiser avec le personnage et qui peut sembler cool seulement aux dames en uniforme au premier rang de son concert. Pacino en tant que bohémien égoïste cherche un moyen de renouer avec son fils aliéné, comme Y le faisait dans les X films précédents avec des personnages similaires. Et en même temps, il essaie de séduire Anette Bening pour un dîner inaccessible, mais pas aussi amusant et charmant que ce que Jack et Helen ont tenté de faire dans le passé. (05/06/2015)

The kind of movie that explains how money, hookers, and dope can't make you happy. Understandably shot from the point of view of a man who has no shortage of money, hookers, and dope. As a nostalgic sentimental safe bet, it's challenging from all directions, especially the passages where the protagonist irons out his shitty life by buying someone something terribly expensive or at least a bunch of toys or something. Logically, the first of the narrative breaks occurs when he runs out of money, which is either a deliberate middle finger to the classic value-building of melodramas or the incompetence of the filmmakers, but which is excellently patched up by the affable Al Pacino, whose wild charisma as the rich jerk behind the microphone I just ate up. Oh, and some of the dialogue is great. (23/09/2015)

Al Pacino is simply such a mature actor that he captivates you with his great performance. True, Christopher Plummer stands out even more, as he is incredibly vital for his age, but above all, he acts brilliantly. The story is human, moving, and shows human aspects that are not always nice. But it definitely belongs to life. At times overly sentimental, but never completely over the top. (07/07/2015)
