Review of The Humbling

The Humbling (2014)
7/10
Great Al Pacino
2 April 2015
When the mind starts to play tricks with us, consequence of the aging process, presenting new difficulties in our ordinary and daily tasks it is very hard to understand and specially to accept.

An aging actor begins to have memory lapses which become a serious problem, first present to us when he passes out on stage.

With our senses altering we begin to cling to all things that make us feel good, replacing the bad feeling of possibly failure, like, in this movie, a young women, lesbian (or not) or bisexual (or not) with dubious motivations.

Al Pacino plays the aging actor in a brilliant performance, supported by great actors.

It's a movie off the beaten path, but altogether similar to Birdman, worthwhile watching due to the emotions it portrays, and the truthfulness the characters are immerse by the actors.

The attempt to show others, as well as ourselves, that we can still do the some things, the we still got it can sometimes be tragic.

This is a great movie ad it is always good to see Al Pacino.
