Why watch the movie Guest Artist?
"Based on the play of the same name, the standout aspect of Guest Artist are its performances. In particular, Jeff Daniels stands out as the conflicted and cynical playwright who travels to a remote town to mount his latest play, where he collaborates with a driver who turns out to be a huge fan of his. It is a character study of an urban, cynical and broken man, who must confront the simplest and most mundane pleasures of life in a story full of lessons for all those who have lost hope."
