I've liked Rose Byrne in some other movies, but this one not so much. Directed poorly by Jessie Peretz with a bit of maudlin script, the storyline of the movie is unappealing and smacks of self-satisfaction. There's hints of pretentiousness thrown in by making the Hawke character an aged rock star, but of course washed up for good measure and flawedness. The script is the main problem of this movie. Then there's the editing - following like the sheep herd with folksy soundtrack numbers littered here and there to manufacture poignancy. It's not the worst movie out there, but probably not worth watching, and certainly garnering an inexplicable number of 10/10 reviews - very overrated. 5/10 is probably is charitable .
