Passado na colorida Nova Iorque dos meados do século XX, A Vida de Um Génio segue o jovem Salinger (Nicholas Hoult), à medida que este luta para encontrar a sua voz, tenta conquistar a famosa socialite Oona O’Neill (Zoey Deutch) e combate na frente da Segunda Guerra Mundial. São estas as experiências que iriam influenciar a criação da sua obra-prima “The Catcher in the Rye”, que lhe trouxe fama (e notoriedade) e acabou por o levar ao abandono da vida pública até ao fim dos seus dias.

Biopics about famous people I haven’t heard about before always have a hard job to win me over. I quite liked Nicholas Hoult’s Salinger, however, as well as Kevin Spacey in a typical mentor role. All in all, the film met my requirements, to the extent that now I really want to read Catcher in the Rye and think about how such a story was written by a person whom everybody predicted to never amount to anything… ()
This is a classic good biopic that depends on its actors, with Nicholas Hoult handling his role in a great and professional manner, as well as Kevin Spacey, from whom I would expect nothing less. I still hope it's not his last role. The film is not unnecessarily exacerbated, has a fairly calm flow, and introduces Salinger to those who don't know him that well. ()
