Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
kaylammfan1 Unique In every aspect, 'The Trivial Pursuits of Arthur Banks' is surprisingly an interesting web series to watch.Adam Goldberg, who plays Arthur Banks the neurotic, narcissistic, noncommittal but successful Theatre Director who makes his play imitate his dysfunctional love life is assisted by his therapist, (played by Jeffrey Tambor) to help Arthur attempt to disentangle the complex issues that occur every time he falls in love.I must say that Peter Glanz, who is the creator, co-writer, director and executive producer of this web-based series is a truly distinctive filmmaker. 'The Trivial Pursuits of Arthur Banks'is an incredibly well suited web series for AMC. I suggest you watch and be amazed by his Unique format of storytelling as well as a great cast and amazing story! Definitely 10 stars! -kayla O.
tgrock The show deals with a sleaze-ball play-write, Arthur Banks, played by Adam Goldberg. Each episode goes through a different relationship of his and the problems he faces in each one. His deception and manipulation he does to each love interest is quite despicable, but seems very real, and is quite funny.Critics compare this to work to Woody Allen, but it seems much funnier. This could be mainly because each episode is 15 minutes compared to a 90 minute comedy. Adam Goldberg's character is much less neurotic and animated than Allen's character he plays from film to film.I would most likely compare this to the tone of "The Royal Tenenbaums" mixed with the zaniness of "Arrested Development".
