I didn't love the movie
I didn’t love it. The plot, characters, and nostalgia factor were cute, but given how loosely it’s actually based on Bourdain’s own retelling of that period, it felt like they slapped Anthony’s name onto a mediocre story with inconsistent characterization as a marketing ploy. I appreciate the director’s intention, and I really didn’t want to side with all the “Tony would have hated this” people, but maybe some people’s stories are simply too complex for a film adaptation and are better left told by the person themselves?
