The acting in this movie was one of the best. The actors they all managed to portray their characters. They managed to bring the movie to life. Haydens acting was good on this movie compared to when he was acting on the Star wars. On some of the movies he was acting he was even breathing too much while speaking and we couldn't hear what he was saying but on this one he was on point. When I first saw that he was part of the movie and playing the main character I was like no,until I had a chance to watch the movie. Peter Sarsgaard's acting was also one of his best.
The movie doesn't have lot of characters which makes us to know who is who. The camera's used in the movie were great. The movie was well edited and the sounds it was great. The problem is the way they just change the scenes. Billy Ray did a wonderful work directing this movie.
I give this movie 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars out of 5.
I recommend that everyone who hasn't seen the movie to check it out especially those who want to go into journalism.. It is worth every cent.
