Great acting, but it's still a biopic. I don't like them, there seems to be only one way of doing them, and they're always very linear, very this-then-this-then-this, and they tend to leave very little room for a director's vision. This is what happened here. There are great performances, but Gus Van Sant is pretty much anonymous. There's nothing of his unique visual style - what we saw in Elephant, Last Days, Paranoid Park, My Own Private Idaho. Shame.
