Ezra by Tony Goldwyn
dude hasn’t directed a ton of films but it seems like comedy drama is his niche- I thought this was a sweet movie. Made me cry a little bit, if you have a relationship with your father it will hit you in the feels. The movie stars Bobby Cannavale, Rose Byrne, and Robert DeNiro. Good performances all around, really liked DeNiro in this one. General premise is a divorced comedian fighting for his autistic child. I tend to consider it more drama than comedy but it has funny moments. The film was authentic as it was written by somebody with an autistic son and the role was played by an autistic actor (William Fitzgerald). Kid did great. The associate producer is also autistic. Very good job in portraying autism especially when compared to a piece of shit like The Predator- Hollywood is getting better at it. Movie won’t be released until the 31st but I would recommend. Kinda like Rainman meets Pursuit of Happiness
6.6/10
its funny I checked the early reviews after and IMDB has it as a 6.6 and RT has it at 77% with a limited number of reviews (I think the RT # will fall a little). If there was gambling on movies I’d be an expert handicapper
