A film about relationships and porn and for the first time Julianne Moore doesn't show us her tits.
Don Jon is Joseph Gordon-Levitts first run as a writer-Director and already I can see his potential. He has a strong sense for character and friendship development which is played in the film nicely, his two main buddies are realistic everyday guys and you feel like they have known each other for years. Scarlett Johansson's character is a 'Princess' and very well played, the couple works and it's nice to see real relationships in cinema, you don't always have to find the one. His family are chaotic and fit perfectly into this world and Julianne Moore smashes her performance yet again but I feel her story leaves you a little confused.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt's use of light was great, Having Scarlett Johansson's light react to Jon's feelings towards her is an interesting move that doesn't detract the viewer from the story, also the panning shot reverse shot is definitely something I am going to have a go at soon.
The story works for me and I like the repetition throughout the film, I would and will recommend this film to anyone, it has many layers that will appeal to all audiences.
