After years of honing his craft on offbeat and underseen indies, director David Gordon Green brought his A-game to his first Hollywood film. A stoner comedy that’s not afraid to redefine and expand the genre, a buddy movie that understands true friendship better than most, an unexpectedly violent action picture—“Pineapple” constantly reinvents itself with bracing confidence and unwavering appreciation for the idiosyncrasies of life. And James Franco’s performance is nothing short of comic perfection.
