POSITIVES…
- newcomer Richie Merritt does a perfectly fine job in the title role of White Boy Rick
- Matthew McConaughey is great in the role of Richard Wershe Sr
- the relationship between Father and Son, and who they are is the strong emotional core of this story
- as a biopic, the true story of Rick Wershe Jr is definitely worthy of a movie
NEGATIVES…
- as it goes, the main problem with biopics that span multiple years is that the overall story can feel too condensed.
- some of the plot threads felt incomplete
- there are some characters that aren’t more fleshed out
- story can feel a little dry half the time
