The Disaster Artist

In 2003 one of the most infamously so bad it's good films, The Room, was released to widespread laughter and ironic enjoyment. The Disaster Artist, a biographical comedy drama directed and starring James Franco, is all about the making of The Room and the relationship between its director and star Tommy Wiseau and costar/coproducer Greg Sestero. Franco does a phenomenal job at portraying the odd, insane, mysterious, but somewhat likable man who we barely even know even 14 years after his film came out. The biggest performance to look out for is Dave Franco as Sestero as he plays his naiveté and wanting to perfection. Throughout the film we learn all of the crazy and insane things that happened throughout the making of The Room. In a way, this film makes us appreciate the older film due to how Sestero and Wiseau ended up making it by showing their times in Hollywood and attempting to get any job they try but constantly failing. Though there are times where Tommy is fun and full of energy, The Disaster Artist also captures his abusive and at times obsessive personality that makes one question if Sestero just lets people walk around him and is too trusting. Over all: 100%
