      Even with its lovely soundtrack provided by indie darlings Badly Drawn Boy, Being Flynn is too dark to appeal to the faint of heart and too safe to draw in those looking for an honest portrayal of a troubled father son relationship. ( Read More )
    • Roger Ebert

      That would be the films easy way out, but it isnt sure which way it should take. ( Read More )
    • Katey Rich

      Handling Nick Flynns memoir with an understated confidence, Weitz allows for real lifes quirks while telling a smoothly paced, engaging story that nicely blends its literary roots with a cinematic style. ( Read More )
    • De Niro (who produced About A Boy) gives Jonathan an interesting edginess. ( Read More )
    • Joe Neumaier
