Director: Paul Weitz USA, 2012, 102 minutes
Cast: Robert De Niro, Paul Dano, Olivia Thirlby, Lili Taylor, Julianne Moore

Robert De Niro and writer-director Paul Weitz find the most congenial material either of them has had in quite some time in this fractious father-son drama with a soul-warming gentle core. What sounds predictable�a young aspiring writer struggles with addiction while trying to deal with his delusional dad�engages in elemental human ways thanks to insightful writing and sensitive performances all around. De Niro, playing Jonathan Flynn, who claims that he, Mark Twain and J.D. Salinger are the only great American writers, does cut the ham a bit thick, but it's an honest, vibrant performance. Happily, he's got a splendid counterbalance in Paul Dano, who centers Weitz's smartly judged adaptation of Nick Flynn's memoir. --The Hollywood Reporter
