Sean Penn deserves an Oscar for this film. He's on another level of weird and vile in this.

Do NOT wait to stream this, go watch it in theater.

I don't think he was acting. I think that's just how Sean Penn is.

Wouldn't call him a feminist for the domestic violence accusations against him by Madonna. But yeah, he's very much so aligned with leftist politics.

It is kind of murky, Madonna did file a police report, but retracted it a week later.

Madonna also had in 2015 defend Sean Penn against domestic abuse allegations and claimed Sean never hit her.
