Audience Member I got to look at Adrian Grenier for an hour and a half so it was GREAT! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member i can appreciate how personal this movie was to make. well done and pretty interesting to watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Adrian Greniers impressive directorial debut before Entourage began is pretty damn good. The story is incredible and the ending definitely makes it worth a watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Really...boring? And not well done, if you ask me. It was okay at best. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member A candid and often uncomfortable look at a deeply personal experience. This doc says most when no one is saying anything at all. Impressive. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Adrian is candid, honest and vunerable in this filmed quest to find his father. He takes us through his mothers dark secrets as a flowerchild of the 60's and the many men she slept with. Narrowing down his choices, he struggles to reconnect with a guy that he has only known as "John" after 18 years. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
