Haven’t seen it at home yet, but I was surprised by how much I liked it at the cinema. Enjoyed the casting as well.
Can understand the Damon comment He has something very particular about him, that makes him stand out as Matt Damon, and it’s not always easy imagining him as the person he is playing.
There are so many roles where Damon is fine or serviceable, but only a handful where his casting feels perfect, like no one else could have played the part right.
I think KILLER Damon roles (not necessarily great movies) are:
Good Will Hunting The Talented Mr. Ripley Gerry (? I've never seen this, but I hear he's great) The Bourne series The Departed The Martian The Informant! True Grit Behind the Candelabra
That's not a ton! And then there are excellent movies he's been in, like Oceans 11 or Contagion, but many others could have played his part just fine.

That’s a pretty long list.
I think he was at his best in Good Will Hunting and the first Bourne movie. He also brought charm to his role in The Martian. Not sure how I feel about him in True Grit. The remake wasn’t as good as the original, and I think he is part of the reason for that.

He wasn’t bad, i just think there might have been someone a little better for the role. Someone with a more retro feel
I said fine!

Lisztomania, 1975. Ken Russell. Released the same year as Tommy and also starring Roger Daltrey, this biopic of the English director is a hilariously anachronistic fictionalization of Franz Liszt, one of the most famous Hungarian pianists in history.
In the 1840s, long before Elvis or Beatlemania, Heinrich Heine coined the term "Lisztomania" to describe the hysteria of Liszt fans, the girls even threw their underwear at the stage. Thanks to this, he is known as the first rock star. The film also shows the rivalry between Liszt and Richard Wagner, presenting the latter as a Nazi vampire.
