Our take

Making full use of the incredible cast at his disposal, Gus Van Sant brings to life a by turns heart-wrenching and brashly comedic biopic of Portland comic artist John Callahan. One of Joaquin Phoenix’s finest performances is accented by a surprising and touching turn by Jonah Hill. A humanist gem.
