Beautifully filmed in black and white.
This film will hopefully will be considered for every OSCAR category.
The story is the day in the life of Irish Mike. A former boxing champion who had an unfortunate turns of events. A character that you can't help but feel his pain and suffering. His story unfolds with past/present scenes, perfectly timed to understand the complexity of his life.
It was the best drama I have seen in many years. The emotional state it puts you in, where you are lost in the film, is something that I think all movie-goers crave. THIS MOVIE DELIVERS just that...
Not a dull scene in the film and quite the cast.
By far Michael Pitt gave a phenomenal performance. Extraordinary chemistry with all the stars - especially his relationship with Ron Perlman's character.
I will be seeing it again in the theater - it is just too beautiful of a film to watch on a TV screen.
