Excellent, Without a doubt!!
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
