 What genre is the film? Boh: Hanson does not focus everything on the generational clash and the coming-of-age novel, sometimes the film takes on almost noir hues to then turn into "black comedy," in summary it falls into the "great film" category, with which to spend two hours of refined entertainment, thoughtful, well-written and acted (Douglas in the role of his career, a first-rate McDormand, kudos to casting for choosing Mrs. Cruise, Maguire and Downey Jr. in roles that fit them like a glove), with a soundtrack in which many will revel, among Young, Cohen, and Dylan.
