Paterno

It stars Al Pacino as former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, and his career leading up to his dismissal following the university's child sex abuse scandal in 2011. Riley Keough, Kathy Baker, Greg Grunberg and Annie Parisse also star.

Re: Paterno
Pretty good film, that I found interesting from start to finish. It's pretty much an ode to Paterno really which I didn't mind, although it's surely mentioned that the situation was probably difficult to be looked upon as just black or white. It's a good cast all around too, Pacino gives a very good performance, and it's well directed with an engaging level of realism and flair. So then while the film has mostly tried to put Paterno on that pedestal as he was and is considered by so many, there's that very last scene to still stab a knife of doubt into that. Solid storytelling, enjoyed getting behind the scenes of a story I knew mostly on the surface only.

Re: Paterno
It's all right. Extremely inaccurate, Pacino tried which was nice to see after almost 18 years of hamming it up

Re: Paterno
Specifically inaccurate how? Or do you mean just very fictious, in that there's no proof of certain scenes actually having happened.
