Mellow in the darkness

A true story. A bunch of alcoholics in the 70s and one of them is a wheelchair-bound John Callahan (Joaquin Phoenix). Callahan's quadriplegia, his struggle for sobriety and finding his biological mother is somewhat heavy and saddening, but, in the end, him becoming a reknowed cartoonist makes this an easy-going heartfelt movie. And Joaquim Phoenix, once again, proves his talent.
