    Factotum

    Matt Dillon turns in a fabulous performance. This is at once funny and sad, yet Matt is his own man. I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Lili Taylor won some awards for her performance, which is stellar. I hope to see more from her in the future. I borrowed this from the library because this type of movie is not always available at the rental stores. I certainly recommend it to anyone who likes character studies that are real.
