Scorsese's Life Lessons

This movie is so unrealistic. Why would the girl go for Kevin Bacon when Fred Ward in standing right there?

Payne is so great at showing how people can be absurd, heartlessly unfeeling and deeply loving, sometimes within the space of a moment. Very moving (and un-manipulative) performances and great to see an American film set in a specific, unique location with it's own culture and quirks.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.
