I Live Tweeted Al Pacino's New Film "The Humbling" And It Turned Out Like A Review

Movie Reviews of the 2010's

Warning: Spoilers Ahead

"The Humbling" is a passion project for Al Pacino and it is about an actor who has a mental breakdown, visits rehab and then becomes involved with his friend's daughter. The trick for us as an audience is that Simon Axler (Pacino) has trouble discerning what's real and what's fake, therefore we don't either. Greta Gerwig costars as his lover and she plays well with him. Al Pacino shines in this role.

I decided as I popped this new Pacino movie in that I was going to tweet as I watched.

Simon begins to have a physical breakdown throughout the film.

A fun subplot is the woman from rehab who repeatedly shows up asking Simon to kill her husband for her.

Do not look away from this film because you will get lost... trust me.

These tweets are the thoughts that ran through my brain as I watched...

A review can't get more honest than my play by play thoughts.

Bottom line: Al Pacino is on his A game, which makes it worth the slightly wacky plot. It's quirky at times and dark at others. Jump in folks! If you've watched, let me know what you thought...or can you enlighten me on some points?
