This story of how a writer for the New Yorker encountered Joe Gould and was ultimately overwhelmed by him is true. I quite liked the film while watching it (Ian Holm is great, as is Susan Sarandon), but the more I thought about it after the fact the more I liked it. That's a good sign, I think. It makes an oddly good pairing with "Cradle Will Rock".
