Our take on Don Jon

Joseph Gordon-Levitt writes, directs and stars in this 2013 comedy-drama about desire and the stories we tell ourselves about it. His character is a New Jersey guy devoted to family, friends and church, whose steady diet of pornography has quietly warped what he expects from real intimacy. The film follows his fumbling effort to find genuine connection and happiness with the woman he hopes is the real thing. Sharp and briskly told, it treats a potentially crude premise with unexpected thoughtfulness, using its romantic-comedy shape to probe habit, expectation and honesty. Best for viewers open to a frank, character-driven look at modern relationships rather than easy escapism.
