Dean Whipple (At Any Price) #15 ~ "What makes him so damn compelling is Efron's ability to convey Dean's sense of frustration by merely being there"
 

Synopsis
A drama centered on an enterprising farmer whose plans cause problems within his family.

Reviews

"It's beautifully shot, tremendously acted (by Quaid and Efron) and honestly, very affecting."
Telluride 2012: Ramin Bahrani's Extraordinary, Affecting 'At Any Price' | FirstShowing.net

"Zac Efron’s brooding good looks work well for the role of Dean, and the moments when he and Dennis Quaid are together the film really comes to life."
At Any Price | Review | Screen

"Bahrani has improbably secured the services of matinee dreamboat Efron, who looks more like a studio raffle prize circa 1957 with each passing film."
Review: Dennis Quaid and Zac Efron defeat the dream in smart, muscular At Any Price

"The two leads are in fine form here... the callow streak that Efron has often displayed as an actor has never felt as raw, vital and emotionally explosive as it does here."
Variety Reviews - At Any Price - Film Reviews - - Review by Justin Chang

"Efron does equally strong work. Continuing to distance himself from his origins as a pretty-boy teen idol, he brings an intense, brooding stillness to the screen here, simmering with the frustrations of small-town entrapment."
At Any Price: Venice Review - The Hollywood Reporter




Potential Titles

This is a brave, layered film that challenges the wisdom of victory at any price.

From Flaunt:
  • I wasn't watching Zac Efron play Dean Whipple, rebellious would-be NASCAR driver in Iowa; I was watching me as Dean Whipple played by Zac Efron.

I think It's sad how deep this family sank to try to protect each other. Dropping the body in that hole was just beyond belief. That moment really sealed their fate for me that none of them could ever be really happy after that. I don't know how they could live as neighbors with that quilt?

No worries guys :wiggle:

That's the thing.... do they really live with themselves? What kind of life would it be carrying this with you?

It's not really a life, it's an existence, you do what you gotta do to get through each day, no real happiness.
