Over the decade after he first found literary success, young novelist Sidney Hall (Logan Lerman) inexplicably drifted towards society's margins... and then dropped completely from sight. As a hired PI (Kyle Chandler) attempts to track him down, flashbacks from three phases in Sidney's life-as precocious teen scribe, emerging enfant terrible, and broken recluse-point to the stunning reasons behind his decline. Effective mystery-drama co-stars Elle Fanning, Michele Monaghan, Nathan Lane, Blake Jenner. AKA: "Sidney Hall." 117 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
