Take your hat off at the table. The writer seems pretty manic. Maybe that’s what you have to be to write long books. He’s a narcissist and an alcoholic as well.
This film epitomizes the idea that acting is the “noble art.” My gratitude to all the gifted performers who graced this work, and to those who made it available to us!
it would appear that mr perkins has no manners as he never removes his hat even in his own home and office as well as in public restaurants .. how is that possible for a man of refinement ???
What a cast….what a screenplay. The acting, directing and editing…wow.
This is a movie I will not soon forget. It comes at a time in my life when the themes/subject matters covered hit the bull's eye. I saw myself in every character/person at various points in my life. Colin Firth's role here might just be my favorite of all — yes, even more than "The King's Speech" which he won an Oscar for. Guy Pearce who I have been a long fan of also shines in the small role he plays as did Dominic West, Nicole Kidman, Laura Linney.
I've never felt to thank a production company but Lionsgate, you have my deepest appreciation for bringing this to the screen for the world to see.
Take off that Word Take off those words Strip that whole paragraph Drop that sentence… Strip down to your skinny soul; Yes, yes, yes! But you can leave your hat on!

A quiet, marvelous movie. I was impressed with Colin Firth's ability as an actor and surprised by Jude Law. A slow drawing in of a story that drew together the weave of two minds and developed the genius that we can share. Outstanding!
A brilliantly scripted and acted movie! The felt life was near perfect. One could learn a lot about life. It is hard to say it was enjoyable but parts of life are not. I am very critical when it comes to movies but it was hard to find faults with this one. A good lesson on "never forget where you came from." I have led a fulfilling life and am grateful for having started out poor. I t helps make you a better person. Sorry for the Rant!
Shirley Temple went into Fitzgerald's and remembers all the empty coca cola bottles in the window cell. She was a rising star and he was on a decline writing scripts for Hollywood.
What is the novel of your life? Who taught you? Do you remember having your diapers changed? Who taught you? When did you realize that you were here, whatever that be defined?
A fine film. The power of mentorship, how it can mold potential and promise into full bloom. Like the flower it inevitably withers and dies but recalls it's beauty.

(7:28) What man sits down to dinner WITH HIS HAT STILL ON??? That is peculiar!
Wow, Max Perkins was a great editor of many great authors.
JUDE LAW IS FAB!!! TOGETHER COLIN AND JUDE FORM A BOND THAT NEVER STOPS! THE CHOIR AND MUSIC FANTASTIC AMPLIFYING THE ETERNAL SPIRIT OF AGAPE’.

GENIUS!!
The ending is the most WHOA moment, and you'll know what I mean by that if you paid attention to one certain detail.
To the lady I mentioned this film to in a cafe (you were reading a book on Perkins…), drop me a line at this address. It was nice talking to you!
Well…..this is a hidden gem of a movie.
I wonder how much of Wolfe’s poetry Perkins had to edit to sell his books.
Take off that Word
Take off those words
Strip that whole paragraph
Drop that sentence…
Strip down to your skinny soul; Yes, yes, yes!
But you can leave your hat on!
A standing ovation. Bravo. Loved this!
I like O and Ruby. ❤
J’ai connu Dadou & Family Guerberthelo il y a de nombreuses années, à La Garde Freynet …je vis à NY depuis de nombreuses années aussi et depuis
Inutile de dire combien vos films depuis le Grand Bleu, m’ont plus, même si je ne les ai pas tous vus j’avoue
Vos 4-5 dernières années et la Justice tournant en votre faveur à
m’a soulagé & fait plaisir pour vous
Je connais un example ici sur NY, d’un homme politique éminent qui a passé lui-même 3 ans, just for his personal need to clean his name…he succeeded so many Lawyers & $$$ later, but the psychological damages were done…& deep wounds remain
( je vous ai vu ce soir sur « quelle Époque »)
I saw your wounds in your face too.
You are an honest very good man #lucbesson

Lockheed martin is not genius

This is America. The great dream. We will never see it again.

The pope doesn't need a exorcist he needs a psychologist and massage therapist! Hahaha
I had no idea this story existed, thank you so much to all who participated in the telling of this story
What is the song during the funeral and until Max reaches home? It brought so much beauty to sorrow.
Who is this? Stop! I need to watch the movie…

Great movie

How do you learn to act, child?
Is it not a LIE not to be yourself?
When are yourself? Define your next day. Nothing should influence you not to be yourself. Or a lie.
Define a demigod, child?
Why do you know? Find the Origins, better not be a human.
Idealism is grand and glorious. Why?
How does a great book or poem aid the suffering of this World?
What if you were in their reality of disparity, would a good book or poem aid you? Maybe if you used the pages to start a fire.
men are selfish is my takeaway
One of my favorite movies of all time. A true gem. I have to put away my computer and read more, sgl
A lovely ending. A wonderful movie!!!
What a job— to guide genius
Such a brilliant film. I want to watch it over and over again to drink in its beauty. Thank you.
If you want to make this movie even better… Turn your device to black and white mode. Trust me.
Well that was awes🎉
A fine film. The power of mentorship, how it can mold potential and promise into full bloom. Like the flower it inevitably withers and dies but recalls it's beauty.
Hard to believe this got bad reviews. People aren't used to films of depth and a slower pace
