I liked it but can't quite identify why. It seemed to be, in many respects, a very conventional filming of a subject notoriously difficult to treat. However, I fell in love with the physicality of Adrien Brody's acting. I'm haunted by his shuffling walk that becomes more clown-like as his fate becomes more extreme. And by his hands. And by that face: Buster Keaton, Nick Cave, an old boyfriend. In the end I suppose it boils down to the knicker region for me.
