I Know This Much is True--Mark Ruffalo best actor winner

[+ tassojunior]

Like a lot of people, I stopped watching this after the first scene where one of the lead twins cuts his hand off in a public library. I finally finished the 6 hours and it really is amazingly good (if not always entertaining). Whoever gets the best actor Oscar for a movie, Mark Ruffalo is 10 times better and won the Golden Globe for best actor-series.

He plays both twins where one becomes mentally disturbed. Ruffalo lost 20 pounds to play Dominick and then gained 40 pounds to play Thomas. Evidently there were doubles as there are many scenes together. Everyone's acting, even Rosie O'Donnell's, is superb. I suspect the ratings were not even higher because it's pretty depressing and stressful (the end is ok).

 

It's on HBO (both regular and Max I think).

Hulu usually has a free week trial for itself and a free week trial of it's HBO Max add-on also. Some other providers have a free week of HBO trial too. A free week of Hulu and HBO is reason for a 24/7 streaming orgy.
