An uplifting tale of redemption and reconciliation replete with edgy characters, biting dialogue, and inspiring performances by Joaquin Phoenix and Jonah Hill. Paroxysms of dark humor punctuate but do not define this uplifting portrait of a man who plumbs the depths of depravity before finding salvation in the expressiveness of art and the beauty of friendship.
