From the organizer: Bill Murray shines in first-time director Theodore Melfi’s bittersweet comedy.
Vincent (Murray) is a flawed, grouchy Vietnam War veteran to whom everything and everyone is insufferable, except his Persian cat. Until one day, he reluctantly begins to babysit his new neighbour’s son, impeccably played by newcomer Jaeden Lieberher and Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) who finally has the chance to show her dramatic chords. True to form, the incorrigible Vincent takes the young boy to bars, gambling at the horse races and lets him hang around his ‘lady of the night’ (Naomi Watts). Melfi indulges at times in creating scenes that are too easy-to-please but his film is permeated with hilarious cynicism and gives all his actors great lines to deliver. St Vincent has been nominated at the Golden Globes for Best Musical or Comedy and Best Leading Actor, while Naomi Watts is competing at the SAG Awards for Best Supporting Actress.
