Guest Artist

Too bad this movie is so unknown and difficult to get hold of, because it honestly is TRUE to LIFE, with GREAT acting performances and a touching, witty story. It is beyond me, why this movie has gotten so little attention, although I read it was due to judicial corporate reasons. Sometimes movies simply fall victim of a bad release and lots of judicial corporate shenanigans. This is one of those unfortunate stories, but hold your horses, because this is definitely still a great gem.

For anyone who loved Jeff Daniels in the past or simply wants to see a true to life comedy about a looser, this is the perfect (unknown) gem for you!

This is a film where two people keep talking and talking. It seems like they never stop talking. It meanders until the final few minutes, when the conversation becomes meaningful. It may be an artistically accomplished film, but it's not for me.

So enjoyed this well written film. Full of emotional and powerful performances. Jeff Daniels is excellent and Thomas Macias' debut performance is wonderful and very believable.

In the mood to watch something different? Like a play really. My thoughts on it? When the teacher is ready, the teacher will appear. Who do you think was the teacher? . Who do you think was the student? We watched on Kanopy app via our Library card. Jeff Daniels, mind blowing soliloquy near the end. Keep going through the slow middle. This review box requires six hundred characters in order to be posted. I already said all I have to say about it without overstating my opinion, and giving spoilers, which I despise. So I am rambling on until I reach the required six hundred characters Are met. I'm intrigued to seeing if anyone watches it after saying this comment.... peace out.

Taut writing and standout performances make "Guest Artist" a gem not to be overlooked. Daniels is in top form as a tormented, brilliant playwright viewing life from the bottom of the bottle. Newcomer Thomas Macias holds his own as the adoring, aspiring playwright confronted with his hero's feet of clay. Gripping.
