Joan Castleman “is married to one of those men who think they own the world… but has no idea how to take care of himself or anyone else,” according to a statement. “He is also one of America’s pre-eminent novelists, about to receive the Nobel Prize for literature; and the flawlessly gracious Joan, who has spent 40 years ignoring her own literary talents to fan the flames of his career, has decided she’s had enough.”
“The White Queen’s” Max Irons plays the Castlemans’ troubled son, and “Mr. Robot’s” Christian Slater features as an aspiring biographer and journalist, who is determined to uncover the Castleman family secret.
Just saw this, Close and Pryce ace it, two great performances. The film itself is a bit too simple for me though. Seems to suffer the same sort of cinematography as The Children Act, it looks as made for TV.
As for the last scene:
I would've put the airplane shot first, then the dialogue scene. Ending with a close-up of Close.
