Perspectives on being.
Despite its slow start, “Stranger than Fiction,” is one of those movies you will think about for a long time after it is over. Meaningful and insightful, yet laughing-out-loud funny, the acting, direction, and cinematography are refreshingly intelligent and polished. Will Ferrell is perfect; Emma Thompson is endearing; and Dustin Hoffman–well, brilliant as usual.
Superb movie. Distressing but timely and meaningful. Every aspect of this film is noteworthy from the acting by the major and minor characters to the directions, filming, editing, and scripting. What makes its impact even stronger is knowing it is based on a true story. Tommy Lee Jones at his best.
A surprising small part for big actor Brad Pitt, and a fine collaboration by all characters to make a haunting, suspenseful film that moves at a rapid pace as it unfolds the connections of three diverse stories in an unexpected way. A disturbing but important perspective of the global community that we ignore but desperately need to understand.
