Rebel in the Rye

As a writer, this movie inspired me to keep writing. I watch it repeatedly whenever I feel tired in my writing activities.

This was an interesting story about someone I didn't know much about (J.D. Salinger). Nicholas Hoult gives a decent performance as the somewhat quiet and thoughtful Salinger. Kevin Spacey is in this film, although he isn't in every scene - seeing his name put me off watching it but I'd say he's not one of the main characters and its worth seeing anyway. I thought the narration, insight into the authors assumed thoughts, was particularly intriguing. I did feel both frustrated and sorry for the main character at different times. Its a somewhat thoughtful watch, which I reckon is worth seeing.

A nice movie to understand how was written a great book.

I enjoyed this movie about the life of JD Salinger and the story it told about the trials he encountered in life leading up to his famous novel "Cather in the Rye" and the character Holder Caufield. The movie also has a great cast to bring the story to life.

The reviews of this film are what I have a problem with on Rotten Tomatoes. The critics savaged it somewhat unfairly. The smug "modest biopic" comments from audience members are proof positive that there are still Holden Caulfields in the world--phonies who think everyone (and every film) around them is phony. (And Zoey Deutch didn't get a lot to do because the film isn't about Oona O'Neill!). Is it the best film I've ever seen? No. But it's really interesting--especially if you've read or studied Salinger, or if you are interested in the subject--as is the case with all biopics!

The narrative races when it should flesh things out and drags when it should go faster. Zoey Deutch especially is given little to do.

An interesting look into the troubled life of author J.D. Salinger. It had its slow moments but it was pretty engaging overall. I was impressed with the he amount they covered in under two hours. Catcher is one of my favorite novels so naturally I enjoyed this look into its history

I enjoyed this tremendously

Rebel in the Rye is a decent film. It is about life of celebrated but reclusive author, J.D. Salinger. Nicholas Hoult and Victor Garber give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Danny Strong did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama.

Modesto biopic sobre el escritor Salinger, nada sobresaliente.
