Farina deserves a Best Actor Nod


Out of all his roles, this one takes the cake for his best performance in years. I can't wait to see it when I can. After seeing this trailer, it is obvious that he might get nominated for an Oscar for this film. Anyone agree?

I wasn't aware of this film until just recently.

I'm trying to find it - where is it playing??

Wait a minute... who am I here?

It's a fantastic film, really moved me and I couldn't fault any of it.

The OP must be psychic, since he hasn't seen the film, because this is probably the best performance of Farina's career. I think he SHOULD have been nominated for Best Actor instead of Brad Pitt or Jean Dujardin, and he SHOULD have won!

He was totally a class act, unfortunately he never made it as big as a Pacino or DeNiro. I was crushed to hear of his passing today, but this film was a great send-off. Perhaps his best role ever, played so honestly.
