...said he appropriated much of his own family dynamic - the scenes of eating and arguing. There are also hints of another 1974 classic, Chinatown, in the family mystery peeled layer by layer. And like Youth Without Youth, the new film boasts an exceptionally sensitive performance by a young actor - here Ehrenreich, who looks like a missing Sheen brother and plays the callow Bennie as if innocence and ignorance were the coolest qualities a teenager could possess...
...Helms has a missing front incisor; it never grew in when he was a kid.

Harvard’s abundant extracurricular interest in those putatively more meaningful pursuits may justify Faust’s presumption that, were money not an obstacle, students would prefer them to the arduous, although handsomely remunerated, tasks of Wall Street...
