I was a bit unsure about this when I first finished it but the more I think about it and play things over in my head the more I like it. I want to see it again now that I think I've got a better idea of what it's going for.
Also geez the reviews saying this is him being overindulgent/way too hard in his style are so wrong lol. It diverges from the stuff from the memes waaaaay more than his last few mobies
This was okay. I wish he would stop casting so many movie stars, though; his early films had a lot of charming roles from amateur actors.
Didn’t quite connect with me. I love individual things about it, but it felt like Anderson was getting in his own way with the two stories. Maybe I just need more time to think on it.
When I was watching it I wasn't exactly sure what the intention was with the multi layered nature of it and felt like it just confused the narrative more than anything. The more I think about it though the more connections I see that add a lot of depth to the themes and characters. I think it's very well done.
A movie I’m going to need to see multiple times to be honest. I’m not even sure how I feel about it. I saw it as part of a double feature last night and I was almost too tired to keep up with it. Especially after the excellence and relative simplicity of Past Lives, this was overwhelming in every way.
Jeffrey Wright should get a Best Supporting Actor nom for this but he won’t. Tom Hanks probably will though, he’s very good here.
Haven’t seen anyone say that myself, though I tend to avoid all dialogue about films these days, but definitely agree with you and noticed it/felt so during my viewing.
