Review of Life

Life (I) (2015)
3/10
Dane DeHaan is miscast
5 January 2017
It's always watchable to look into the lives of Hollywood legends so the subject matter of this movie makes one want to watch it through. Although the focus of this movie is James Dean's visit home to Indiana and that isn't that interesting.

Unfortunately Dane DeHaan is so different looking from James Dean that it spoils the movie. His face is roundish and he just doesn't have the right look. James Franco was a much better fit way back when he did the TV movie. There must have been some actor out there who looked more like the subject. Also having the photographer better looking than the movie star made things unbelievable. Robert Pattinson has been struggling to get the right role after you know what and he is a good actor.

Disappointing.
