I thought that the directors fondness for Salinger the man, came across as too strong in places. Overall I found the movie interesting. One aspect of the film I liked though, they questioned if Salinger was really a recluse. He went out, took trips, made phone calls. Not typical of a recluse. Interesting how Salinger used his isolation as a marketing tool. Some of his actions to insure his privacy were done publicly, when he didn't have to. He just wanted to remind us he was still out there, and still not publishing.
Who can ask for a better life? Write for a living, be left alone, and chase beautiful young women.
I hope we do see more of his works.
It would give as all more to talk about.
