Like they say every coin has 2 sides and this story tells it from both sides... Solid movie, the best part is you'll get to see Amber Heard's naked guns, only for that it is worth watching, although her hairstyle in this movie is the worst ever.

Hans Reiser gets hooked on a Russian asset, a woman from Saint Petersburg. Reiser is the golden boy from Linux with his Reiser file-system and company Namesys.

The film is about personal perspective and how far we can delude ourselves about who we are and the events which created us. For such a tricky topic, I thought they did an excellent job.

I can usually tell if I'll like a film in the first 5 minutes. This film had me at minute 1.

This film tells the story of a young writer who wrote a book about his troubled relationship with his father, and the abuse he had to endure over the years. The sudden appearance of his father in the book launch party raises doubts on his claims in the book.

"The Adderall Diaries" (2015 release running time: 90 min.) brings the story of how Stephen Elliott (played by James Franco) deals with his distant past and also some current setbacks.

If you are thinking about watching this movie in 2020 or later, I assume it is because you discovered the amazing Timotheé Chalamet and are working your way through his films. I would say it is kind of worth the watch.

This movie is journey about coming to terms with who you are and how you became that person. The enigmatic Franco plays a deeply troubled writer who is trying to come to terms with his traumatic past and the heartbreakingly tumultuous relationship he had with his father.

After hearing about (but not reading) the book I was a little excited for this film. Terrible let down.
