Critical View |
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: Robert Downey Jr., who has made three Toback films, could almost be called Toback's screen alter ego. Asked how he felt after first reading one of Toback's scripts, Downey says, "I felt like Shakespeare didn't die." |
2 Reasons to See It |
1. For some reason, James Toback is actually relevant to you. 2. Like, for example, you need to do research for an upcoming job interview with him. |
Overall |
More interesting than it seems. If you haven't seen the Toback films, it's a good sampler to decide which one(s) you might want to see. |
