He’s also having family troubles: his teenage daughter (Lily Sheen) resents him, and his impending divorce from his smart and justifiably annoyed makeup-artist wife Olivia (Sharon Horgan) has left him broke. Cage stars as Nick Cage, a fictional version of himself who spouts lofty ideas about acting but who’s finding it harder and harder to land gigs. Unfortunately, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, a meta-comedy of ostensibly epic proportions, is not nearly grand enough to embrace those multitudes.
Does he contradict himself? Very well then, he contradicts himself. In his off years, he’s been jeered at as a guy who’d take any role to finance the purchase of a castle, or perhaps a choice dinosaur skull. He has been called the finest actor of his generation, which is probably true.
For decades, his face on a movie poster was the key to worldwide ticket sales, though he’s more than just a global star.
To love Nicolas Cage doesn’t make you an underrepresented minority.
