PARKLAND (Landesman) Q. How awful could a movie possibily be? A. PARKLAND. Makes BOBBY look like La Regle du Jeu.

Which means he has made history in doing so (which certain critics fail to mention); you can't make the excuse of "albeit not in the same calendar year".

I think, by now everyone who comes onto this site knows (you have made it perfectly clear) that you are truly not a fan of Franco's with the backhanded insults that comes with your articles concerning him.

So, I expected nothing less in this review, especially, when it comes to Franco's directing. I still remember the time you stated that James Franco wasn't a Movie Star and we should all wait until Oz before in your opinion we can claim so, if it's a hit. Whilst, the rest of the world already knew that Franco was a A-list Movie Star.

This movie made a big splash in Venice (yes, with some divides), with Scott Haze earning widespread praise for his performance and legit candidate for Coppa Volpi award for best actor (hope he wins, plus the movie).

This means Franco did something RIGHT as a director, which brought out the best in Haze (his breakthrough role). The world has now discovered a new talent, who has been given an opportunity by Franco and Haze shines, with Franco's directing on point.

So with you stating "Because otherwise, if he can't make a piece of material like "Child Of God" into something worth watching, we'd probably rather see him spend his time in other people's movies", clearly that's your opinion but as the Guardian stated in their review giving it 4 stars, if it had been another director who had made this movie the critics "They'd lap it up, smack their lips and ask for more.", and I've noticed other critics who are fairer reviewers saying the same thing (seriously, why do I have the feeling, if it was Ben Affleck, Ryan Gosling or JGL it would be getting either A or B).
