The Humbling

In this film, actor Simon Axler (Al Pacino) faces a different path through his struggle to find his passion for life over time. Near the point of collapse, Simon finds a lively man, Pegeen Stapleford (Greta Gerwig), but things are still going on in a different turn during that relationship. Now, Simon has a hard time keeping up with the young Pegeen who coexists with things.

This is really two stories: one about an old guy trying to prove he's still got it sexually speaking, and the other about an artist losing a grip on his craft. The latter plot point is decent. The former? Yuck.

It's a mopey, silly situation, whose only tension comes from our perpetual fear that Levinson is about to make us watch a somber drama copulating with a farce.

If you liked Birdman, you also might like seeing Al Pacino playing a delusional, indeed hallucinatory, actor trying to save his soul and his onstage career in the sort-of-comedy The Humbling. Or you might not.

A melancholic alternation of bitter and comedic sketches, all resolutely low-key and wildly uneven.

The movie is too shrewd to qualify as a jeremiad, but underneath the comedy are boiling undercurrents of anger and despair.

A messy movie but also a thrilling one, grappling with diminished talents and vanishing virility in brutally honest ways that show up the similarly-themed Birdman as a cheap parlor trick.

It definitely seems like there is a thin line between method acting and insanity in The Humbling.

This is Pacino's best film performance in years. In playing an actor who has lost the art of fooling himself, he reveals with mordant wit the terrors of diminished capacity. To watch him do it is a master class.
