Don't Worry, weglaufen geht nicht (2018)

Don’t Worry, weglaufen geht nicht: Directed by Gus Van Sant. With Joaquin Phoenix, Jonah Hill, Rooney Mara, Jack Black. On the rocky path to sobriety after a life-changing accident, John Callahan discovers the healing power of art, willing his injured hands into drawing hilarious, often controversial cartoons, which bring him a new lease on life.

“From a technical viewpoint, very well executed – lighting and Cinematography were excellent. As for writing – every character in this is so well conveyed that the actors are able to do the story justice. Joaquin Phoenix did an excellent job as expected – both him and Jonah Hill really showed some emotional range in their roles. Rooney Marau0026#39;s performance was great and her chemistry with Mr. Callahan was palpable; although not nearly as much so as Mr. Callahanu0026#39;s screen chemistry with Donny. Even the time Jack Black and Joaquin have on screen together is magical – and weirdly enough I donu0026#39;t think they couldu0026#39;ve cast anyone better for Jack Blacku0026#39;s character.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie ended up being more of an exploration of 12 step program than I expected, but by the end it actually gave me deeper insight and understanding of those struggling with alcoholism who seek help. Knowing tons of people whou0026#39;ve gone through the program (recurring ones and success stories) itu0026#39;s given me a slightly deeper appreciation for anyoneu0026#39;s struggle/experience.”
