Paul Dano

Film Review: “Wildlife” — The American Dream, Ablaze

This is a sublime little film — an elegantly cross-stitched portrait of an all-American family fracturing under the weight of broken dreams and false promises.

Fuse Film Review: “Swiss Army Man” — Way Down the Rabbit Hole

Swiss Army Man is much more than your standard absurd adolescent comedy or a campy send-up of the genre.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Dan Kwan, Daniel Radcliffe, Daniel Scheinert, Paul Dano, Paul Dervis, Swiss Army Man

Film Review: “Love & Mercy” – A Compelling Life of Brian

Paul Dano invests the younger Brian Wilson with focused ecstasy, especially during his creation of the landmark album, Pet Sounds.

By: Ken Bader Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Beach Boys, Bill Pohlad, Brian Wilson, John Cusack, Ken Bader, Love & Mercy, Paul Dano

Film Review: Calvin and the Real Girl – “Ruby Sparks” Comes to Life

“Ruby Sparks” is more than a sweetly moving love story with a happy ending; to their credit, the filmmakers add some disturbingly nightmarish edges to its “Pygmalion” meets “Frankenstein” plotline.

By: Glenn Rifkin Filed Under: Featured, Film Tagged: Paul Dano, Ruby Sparks, Zoe Kazan
