This was such a long overly dramatic movie which honestly felt like every other movie of the genera. Acting was fine but the dialogue was pretentious creating such fake characters. Anyone over 15 years old will predict every story beat that will come. The saving grace here is, unsurpringly, Willem Dafoe with his character being a grumpy drunk writer. The movie intends to prove him wrong but his character was so well done I couldn't help but agree with him more. I know this review will be unpopular but I just found this movie lacking any sense of reality to its characters and it's plot has been done so often.
