As far as quality and entertainment value go it really was a really great movie. Good visuals, interesting information, high quality production, I have no complaints on that end. It's just that if the movie teaches us anything it's that Salinger was a deeply private--arguably troubled-- man antagonized to no end by the press and the public. He was literally terrorized because people didn't respect his need to be left alone. If we couldn't respect his wishes in life why can't we respect them in death and let him finally be. His writing gave us something great to remember him by and that's how he wanted it. He wanted to be remembered by and in his works.
