Based on the novel by Nick Flynn called Another Bullshit Night In Suck City, the film adaption stars Robert DeNiro as a drunken on-and-off homeless taxicab driver who is a writer who never becomes successful because he is imbalanced and suffers from bouts of psychosis. His son, played by Paul Dano, is also a hopeful writer who meets his father, after a long-time absence, as his father gradually descends to homelessness again. It's good to see Robert DeNiro get parts that he can really use his talent in, and he does an excellent job (as usual) when given a good script; Julianne Moore. Directed by Paul Weitz.
