wonder how it feels to be a filmmaker today knowing this exists and you’ll never reach it’s level of greatness

The scene of Bill on the phone in the car at the end is one of the most devastating and suddenly humanizing moments I’ve ever seen committed to tape. It feels like the moment near the end of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles where you’re forced to reframe a goofball as a person, but you’re watching him realize the inevitable thing you’ve known the entire time. And it’s real. You look in Bill’s eyes and watch him catch up to over 50 years of a pipe dream in real-time. Such an indescribable emotion.

Nathan Fielder is the new Abbas Kiarostami. A masterwork of reflexivity, questioning the lengths of performance vs persona, and how the manipulative nature of it effects the people and their surroundings it's played upon.

A preliminary but confident rating as I think that this might be a valid addition to my two hundred 5/5 rated films (ever), out of the 10,000 or so that I've seen. A deeply psychologically complex masterwork of pure cinema & introspective emotion from the king of contemporary comedy. Hands down one of the very best movies of the year.

"The main thing about age progression is the gravity. What makes people age is gravity. If there were no gravity — for instance, if we all lived in outer space, as we will one day — your face would never change. You'd always look like how you look right now."
