Genius (2016)


Genre: Biographical / Drama
Directed by: Michael Grandage
Cast: Colin Firth, Jude Law, Nicole Kidman
Running Time: 104 minutes



This biographical film covers the tumultuous relationship between novelist Thomas Wolf and his first editor, Maxwell Perkins, the man who discovered such famous writers as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway.

While the subject matter was very interesting to me, as an ever aspiring author, the directing and the very drab cinematography made the whole thing less than appealing. The acting was okay, but the very greyish appearance of the way it was shot made it so extra effort had to be put in to fully appreciate this movie.
