Probably one of the best of the year for me. I refuse to believe Maggie Gyllenhaal hasn't secretly directed other movies


Kinda confused by the ending though, but might just be overthinking it.

Ed Harris is a legend and everyone will know why when they see this

 

i didn't really love this tbh

 

I hope Maggie Gyllenhaal makes a lot more movies, this was a treat

 

This movie was incredible. Very unique perspective not explored nearly enough

 

Yeah…I don’t know. Hits some degree of emotional potency in the final quarter, but it’s a bit too little too late with the meandering that precedes it. I respect the subversiveness of a woman making a film that makes motherhood look ugly and problematic and the performances really sell that though.

 

I thought this had some great moments but I think it probably could’ve been 20 minutes shorter. Some really original stuff though, thematically and cinematically. I agree that it’s impressive as a debut.

 

I am about halfway through this and I think it’s just okay. I dunno, maybe it’s because I can’t relate to the subject of motherhood but it seems very slow and not a ton to the story.

 

I just finished it and have to say this was a disappointment for me. While the plot did throw me for a loop in terms of what it was about, (I thought it was going to lean more about motherhood than the relationship with this family) it was a weird storyline that just kinda weirded me out more than anything.

 

I didn’t really love it either but had its moments

 

Question for someone more film literate than me (and using this thread for it because it's the most recent example: is there a name/word to describe the way the end credits are done in this? All the names being in a big block and each showing up one by one. I see it in a lot of French films and am just curious if there's a word for it
