Also starings Sienna Miller (Stardust), Anthony Michael Hall (The Breakfast Club), and Vanessa Redgrave (Letters to Juliet), the film is directed by Bennett Miller (Moneyball), who was also nominated for an Academy Award.
The R-rated film has grossed $11 million at the domestic box office since its November, 2014 limited release to U.S. theaters. The critics appear to have liked what they’ve seen, giving the film an 87% rating at Rotten Tomatoes based on 197 published reviews.
