Laurel Canyon

It’s hard to knock a film that means so well. Here we have a bunch of good and capable actors who rise above a very lightweight and not-so-memorable material. Christian Bale, Alessandro Nivola and especially Frances McDormand are the reasons to see the film. But I really wish that there were more meat to the story.
