Tonight I saw Don Jon. Written, directed by, and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt the film is a modern coming of age film for the 21st Century. Levitt is the titular character a delayed adolescent who excels at anonymous sex with obsessive focus. His supporting cast is phenomenal and includes Tony Danza, Glenne Headley, Julianne Moore, and Scarlett Johansson. Make no mistake, this film has other amazing performances, but none come close to the electric performances of Levitt and Moore. I do not think I have seen as seemingly effortless and intricate a performance from Moore since Boogie Nights. Levitt is also effortless. Even the speech and patter of the actors is incredible.
This is a fantastic film. I urge you to go see it, just not with a date*.
I saw the film at The Look theaters in Addison, Texas.What an amazing experience. Expensive and totally worth it.

*I took a date to see Sex, Lies, and Videotape in 1989. Don’t judge, it was her idea. A truly amazing film, but I never heard from her again.
