The Hawk Is Dying

This is the kind of role that attracts stars looking to stretch, yet it's hard to imagine anyone who'd do it more justice than Giamatti.

It ain't pretty, but its naturalism is consistent with the source material, and makes for a refreshing change from the usual Hollywood gloss.

...even though it might be a total mess, it's still crazily fascinating to watch. Give me that over predictable and boring any day.
