Tell Them Who You Are
The movie viewing streak continues...
This time it was Tell Them Who You Are. One one level, the film is both a biography of famed cinematographer Haskell Wexler and an autobiography of his son Mark. On this level it functions well as the story of a cantankerous, aging Hollywood legend and the son who lived in his shadow. On another level, I found a very palpable and moving father quest. Given the critical reaction, it seems you either bought it or you didn't. I certainly did, and that makes it one of my favorite films so far this year.
