THIS MUST BE THE PLACE (2011) - ♦♦

Directed by - Paolo Sorrentino

 

Written by - Paolo Sorrentino, Umberto Contarello

 

Starring - Sean Penn

 

 

 

"A retired rock star living off his royalties in Dublin returns to New York City following his father’s death and sets off on a search for a man who humiliated him during the second world war. The only thing to keep a grip on the viewer is Sean Penn's lead performance. Other than that, this is a quite dull and lifeless film that never seems to be heading anywhere and is certainly in no rush to get there."
