Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot

Gus Van Sant20181h 54mBiography, Dramedy, Social Issues

Written by Cinobo

Aided by another excellent performance by Joaquin Phoenix, Gus Van Sant is searching for the light inside the darkness, and turns cartoonist John Callahan’s tortured life into an ode to the cathartic power of creation.

Synopsis

After the car accident that nearly took his life, the last thing John Callahan (Joaquin Phoenix) wants to do is quit drinking. When he reluctantly begins treatment - with the encouragement of his girlfriend (Rooney Mara) and charismatic supporter (Jonah Hill) - Callahan discovers a new talent: drawing bold, irreverent cartoons for newspapers that eventually become popular across the country and give him a new zest for life.
