House of D
An American artist living a bohemian existence in Paris, Tom Warshaw (David Duchovny) is trying to make sense of his troubled adult life by reflecting upon his extraordinary childhood... The year is 1973, and 13-year-old Greenwich Village native Tommy Warshaw (Anton Yelchin) is on the brink of becoming a man. While his bereaved single mother (Téa Leoni) continues to mourn the death of his father, Tommy escapes his own grief by causing trouble at school and making afternoon meat deliveries with his best friend Pappas (Robin Williams), a mentally challenged janitor. Following the romantic advice offered by Lady (Erykah Badu) -- incarcerated in the infamous Greenwich Village Women's House of Detention for shadowy reasons -- Tommy even experiences his first taste of love. Yet when an unexpected tragedy radically alters his world, Tommy must make a life-defining choice -- one that will compel the adult Tom Warshaw, 30 years later, to confront his unfinished past.

If you are an R&D fan (Robbin & Duchovny) like I am you will enjoy this movie. This movie is a partial autobiography of David Duchovny. It contains aspects of his life in it and he wrote it and directed it. I understand Duchovny alot better now, he didn't have a perfect childhood, like many people tend to believe big movie stars do.Lazy screenwriting - godfrizilla13
David Duchovny boasted that he wrote this script in about 6 days -- and it shows! The film is ridden with cliches, unbelievable characters and story arcs that just don't make sense.
For the lazy viewing they'll find this really heartwarming (like Patch Adams, for example) but critical thinkers are going to find their enthusiasm stalls early on, and never recovers.House of D - Mimi1
We weren't sure what to expect with this movie as we hadn't heard a lot about it - but it was fantastic! Robin Williams was his incredible self in this movie and I think he should have been up for an Oscar for this one. And who knew David Duchovny was such a talented writer!
