It is a performances centric movie
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
