The point of this film to me was to show an alcoholic at his worst . Leaving Las Vegas was much better at doing this .
Dylan Thomas per this movie was a mean drunk arrogant and a raging self distructive alcoholic.
Apparently he wrote some nice words people liked to listen to him read off .
I don't see him being a genius more than just having talent .
The Carlos character I suppose was his ideal self who was the voice in his head the superego .
Anyhow nicely filmed acting is great but this movie is too dark and boring to give it any entertainment points or points for story/writing .
These so called tortured souls no longer apealing in the age of marathons runners , big tech , and the current age we live in .
Depresssing bore .
