What happens

Art School Confidential is a 2006 American comedy-drama film directed by Terry Zwigoff and starring Max Minghella, Sophia Myles, John Malkovich, Jim Broadbent, Matt Keeslar, Ethan Suplee, Joel Moore, Nick Swardson, Adam Scott, and Anjelica Huston. The story follows Jerome (Minghella) who enrolls in art school and is loosely based on the comic of the same name by Daniel Clowes, who also wrote the screenplay. The film is Zwigoff's second collaboration with Clowes; the first was 2001's Ghost World, which was also released by United Artists. The film received polarized reviews from critics.
