Matt Johnson, who wrote and directed Tony, clearly made the deliberate choice to make the movie a tart, bittersweet but ultimately hopeful perspective on Anthony Bourdain’s life. Tony opens at a bar where the daring young man, played by Dominica Sessa (The Holdovers), approaches Nancy (Emilia Jones, CODA) to ask her out. Tony escapes in the night to P-Town, arriving under false pretenses and with scarcely a few dollar bills to his name. He is under the tutelage of a character we only know as “Chef” (Antonio Banderas). But the movie poster for Tony has Sessa in a chef’s gown.
