Story of JD Salinger's troubled life, especially his relationship with his mentor at university and his PTSD from WWII. Hoult is wonderful and makes this film what it is - he truly draws the viewer in. I would watch again one day. Be warned: Kevin Spacey is in this (I didn't know til well in).
It's a pretty good film, though I don't know how closely it connects to the real story. It reminded me that i still need to read The Catcher in the Rye, a book that has long eluded me. It also reminded me to write more creatively, above and beyond the freelance work that binds me.
The important thing is to publish. Publishing is everything.

Brutally cliche, viciously formulaic and, ultimately, unforgivably phony.
