Paterno (2018) - 365 Movie Challenge Day 121

Day 121 of the challenge! Another awesome biopic today with HBO's Paterno! Al Pacino kills it in this one! His nuanced performance is easily the highlight, elevating an already well write and directed recreation of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal from 2011. Pacino plays the part beautifully, making you both sympathize with Paterno's position while also frustrating the hell out of you with his obliviousness (and indifference perhaps?) to the situation. Totally recommend it for any Pacino fan (like me)! Maybe watch it after finishing this Sunday's Westworld!
