    On the scale of acting, you have two sides of the spectrum. On one end you have the Dwayne Johnson's, who make the movie about themselves, have massive egos, and never try to improve their craft because they believe THEY themselves ARE the movie and what people are going to see. On the other end you have the Paul Giamatti's, who act to make the movie about THE MOVIE, they essentially have zero egos, and always do what they can to give the best performance, playing to exactly what the character and stories NEED, they are APART of the movie and do all they can to help in making the best movie they can. I always favor the Paul Giamatti's.

    It's not a period film, I didn't follow the first few minutes and was wondering if this was just a modern hypertraditionnalist school until they mentioned Viet-Nam and seeing everyone smoking indoors but even then until they go out of the school it feels quite timeless. It captures the vibes of a 70's movie with the grain and the music and some "matter of fact" exposition but it never tries hard to remind you you're in the the seventies like modern media often do when they choose a recent decade as a gimmick.

    I really like the actor but I take a big issue with his portrayal of Deerfield Academy being "outside of Boston"! Technically it is, but so is Washington DC or any other point. It's in the same State but there's more to MA than Boston. Yankee Candle, started in the area (Hoyoke/S.Hadley) and then moved to Deerfield and became a popular place to visit, especially for Christmas. They had a magical set-up and a Santa that authentically looked the part, no makeup needed. I brought my kids there for years. There was a famous massacre there and have a historically preserved section with intact houses etc, where you can see how people lived in colonial times. But its clear on the other side of the state, Western Ma, 100 miles away from Boston! People don't have the accent, it's simply not considered by anyone that Deerfield is anywhere near/outside our capital city. Sorry about the diatribe but it gets old hearing how MA seems to have just the one city. Dunkin Donuts & Boston! We're more than that!

We're a lot more earthy-crunchy, nobody ever accuses Boston of that. Boston is like that out of town cousin you only see on occasion, full of mischief, a bit naughty, lots of fun but you're relieved when they go back home and you survived it.
