This film came to me as a masterpiece and a revelation of a mystery. Robert Downey Jr. is in perfect form and, in my humble opinion, should continue this line of acting. Not that he is not great in Sherlock, Avengers, Iron Man, et al, but I simply adore him when he embarks in roles as profound and touching as this one.
Now, Robert Duvall deserves an Oscar. What a commitment with his art and what a respectful salute to elder people from a man who is already an elder. He had me in tears and that is a very difficult accomplishment with me. A dignifying movie!
