Nick Flynn, in his 20s, hasn't found his place in the world yet, but hopes to be a writer. Around the time he takes a job at a homeless shelter in Boston, his father, Jonathan, who considers himself a great writer and who hasn't see Nick in years, abruptly makes fleeting contact. A few months later, the down-and-out Jonathan shows up at Nick's shelter and becomes a resident. This disorients Nick; he doesn't handle it well, compounded by Jonathan's belligerent behavior. Nick's memories of his mother, his budding relationship with a co-worker, and his own demons make things worse. Can anything improve? Is he his father's son?
Leave your thoughts about Being Flynn.
| The Patriot LedgerAl AlexanderDe Niro has succumbed to the false perception that 'great acting' is synonymous with screaming and yelling every line like your career depended on it. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfDano's deeply felt performance comes to be Weitz's greatest asset, finding a genuine sense of hurt with material that could easily register as superficially morose. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumJimmyODano and De Niro are phenomenal together. This is certainly a career best for each of these fine actors, which is especially impressive considering De Niro's resume. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA near-miss that doesn't quite work either intellectually or emotionally. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereStripped of Boston-accent, 'Flynn' flops. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeAbsolves Paul Weitz for having made Little Fockers and makes up for most of Robert De Niro's choices in the past few years. |

It's easy to imagine Being Flynn's story turning precious in the wrong hands, but Weitz and his cast spin it just right - as a narrative that is both emotionally real, and just writerly enough to suit its leading men. |
| The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyRobert De Niro and writer-director Paul Weitz find the most congenial material either of them has had in quite some time in Being Flynn. |
| NewsdayRafer GuzmanWeitz digs diligently for emotional truths and makes the most of his excellent cast. |
