Top-notch melodrama!
I was led, somehow, to this flick because of the names Philip Seymour Hoffman and Sidney Lumet, an irresistible pairing.
Masterful in many ways, this film, and Hoffman seems unable to do wrong from one project to the next. What a treasure this actor is!
Do not miss the documentary, the lesson from Lumet on the proper definition of melodrama, and a glimpse at a director in his eighties who is as stoked with creative energy as someone fifty years his junior.
