![]() It did capture the spirit of the story and was never boring or slow paced, though it wouldn't have hurt to be a little longer either. Other changes were made to the story and some plot points fictionalised, but that's the case in nearly every adaptation so that was to be expected. And hey, you can't say Tommy isn't sincere. Nonetheless I gave him a pass and still loved watching him. It was hard to present an accurate portrait of him as James Franco focuses more on his quirks and his charm and his tyrannical side was a bit glossed over. While he was humanised to a certain extent and some solid insight was given into his motivations and feelings, it has to be acknowledged the real Tommy was far more obnoxious, manipulative and plain nasty. I tip my hat to him and hopefully the Oscars come calling. Almost all of his endearingly strange lines had the audience laughing their heads off. ![]() ![]() ![]() His first scene having him enter an acting class with the confidence of a rockstar but the talent of a fingerless piano player. James Franco is so spot on in his portrayal of Tommy's quirks and character its actually surreal. A comprehensive look at the making of what might be the most perplexing piece of cinema ever. Having been lucky enough to get tickets to the Australian premiere of The Disaster Artist with Greg Sestero himself in attendance, I was excited and eager to watch this amazing story. ![]()
