I saw this movie on in demand about two weeks ago. I thought it was really interesting to watch and I'm always intrigued by famous enigmatic people. From what I understand there is an outcry about the accuracy of the movie but that doesn't detract from the entertainment factor.

Geoffrey Rush's performance was really good and John Lithgow was very good as well. Hard to describe this movie other than "really interesting".

Its kind of like confessions of a dangerous mind but without the espionage. The entire movie is contoled by the thoughts and perceptions of the main character.

I kind of liked it, but I can't help but feel like they were doing a character assassination rather than a biography. Sure he was a bastard, but he had his good points too. I thought it was performed wonderfully all around, but I honestly didn't feel that much closer to him at the end of it all, maybe because of the segways where Rush would take on the last person and explain Seller's take on that person's POV of him.

Sounds confusing, but I think you'll know what I mean

i thought it was good, i usually don't give hbo movies a try but i was bored and nothing else was on so I lucked out. G, Rish did a great job. Charlize was hot in that movie always dug her. Anywho all and all good flick.
