Our take

From Berman & Pulcini ( American Splendor) comes another offbeat literary adaptation—this time, bringing to the screen the sophomore novel from Bored to Death and You Were Never Really Here author Jonathan Ames. A silly, witty comedy and NYC-set two-hander: starring Paul Dano and Kevin Kline.
