Being Flynn
May 25, 2012 4:45 PM
Rated: R
Being Flynn is the new dramatic feature from Academy Award-nominated writer/director Paul Weitz (About a Boy). Adapted from Nick Flynn’s 2004 memoir Another Bulls—t Night in Suck City, the movie explores bonds both unbreakable and fragile between parent and child. Nick Flynn (Paul Dano—Little Miss Sunshine, There Will be Blood) is a young writer seeking to define himself. He misses his late mother, Jody (Julianne Moore), and her loving nature. But his father, Jonathan (Robert DeNiro), is not even a memory, as Nick has not seen the man in 18 years. Jonathan impulsively reaches out to Nick, and the two come face-to-face. To give the two of them a shot at a real future, Nick will have to decide whom to seek redemption for first: himself or his father.
Evocatively told, ruefully funny, and moving in its depiction of the ties that bind, Being Flynn tells a story that reveals universal truths.
May 23-24, 26, 28–29 screening room. 102 mins.
