The Humbling
Following a breakdown and suicide attempt, an aging actor becomes involved with a much younger woman but soon finds that it's difficult to keep pace with her.
Critics Sentiment
Simon performs final role blurring reality and fiction onstage
Pegeen's former partners Prince and others create relationship complications
The film drops significantly during the middle act with Pegeen's ex-lovers subplot before recovering for Pacino's powerful final performance.
The Humbling starts promisingly with Pacino's compelling portrayal of an aging actor's breakdown, but stumbles badly in its middle section with pointless subplots and shallow character complications. The film redeems itself somewhat in the final act where Pacino delivers his most powerful moments, though overall it remains an uneven showcase that will primarily appeal to the actor's devoted fans.
