You have to be a Giamatti to portray such a difficult role of an obsessed, unstable man so sublimely.

And not only is that role difficult, the script is also not of a nature to provide one hundred percent viewing pleasure over the entire length. After an hour, the characters and the atmosphere are already clearly defined and for what comes next, the viewer is no longer surprised by the unstable behavior of the main character or the not so directly meaningful dialogues. But as said, Giamatti makes up for a lot, a lot.

Strange, depressing film about a hawk-training-obsessed oddball (Paul Giamatti) who lives with his sister Precious and her autistic son Fred. Giamatti's intense, very strong role saves the film from ruin, but there is very little to experience in terms of plot. Very convincing atmosphere, though.
