Took me a bit of time to realize this movie wasn't about Wolfe but his editor although the theatrical trailers of course suggested the opposite. Beautifully filmed and believable story about largely forgotten giants of literature. It is ironic Fitzgerald gets a brief mention here and there in this movie when he is the one who survived in the public realm to the 21st century mainly due to his Gatsby being required reading in school as well as the numerous film adaptations of the same. I won't even mention Hemingway since the film barely has him around at all. The film ends a bit abruptly, regardless of this, its authenticity certainly feels real so does its look and overarching mood. As biopics of fiction writers go it is interesting enough to make you want to pick up his book.
