The life and personal demons of cartoonist John Callahan are on display in Don't Worry, which is directed by Gus Van Sant and stars Joaquin Phoenix. Do you need to know much about Callahan to appreciate this movie's modest, compassionate portrayal? Not at all. In fact, I think it's one of the film's chief selling points: Don't Worry doesn't try to oversell the man's greatness. My review is up at Screen International.
