"James Franco's film is tonally flat and a little too impressed with its own elliptical construction." - Matthew Connolly

Fascinating experimental biography from polymath James Franco who uses his movie-star mug to great effect here, to become sort of the anti-Tom Cruise, through the explicit gay sex and romantic love, and his obvious affinity for queer studies, poetry, experimental film and the New Queer Cinema of the 90s. Deserves a second look as soon as I find a better copy.
