Vivien Lee was a force of nature. The South, however, was not.

Iโm really here more for the vibes rather than the script or direction. Also the Dracula jokes ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ

This was a pleasing mystery Monday movie. Paul Dano is having a good time. The editing is pretty wild here. The ensemble cast is mostly all a good time. Some get better scenes than others. Itโs an easy watch until you basically have to read the ending ๐

I am SO MAD this is the one I missed in theaters. Itโs so simply amazing. Paul Dano knows what the fuck heโs doing. The script is so well adapted and doesnโt feature ANY narration! On a film based on a BOOK! What!
I canโt believe how good Carrey Mulligan is in this. She and Jake and newcomer Ed are magnificent and handle the script with such grace. Paul lets his actors breathe and say so much with saying almost nothing at all. The montage scenes are remarkably well done and beautifully feature a mesmerizingly perfect score.ย
Great first watch of 2019!

Definitely better than what most Americans think filmmaking is or can be. It can be simplistic with a masterful handling of the camera and fully formed characters. It can be monochromatic, quiet, and bleak. This film defies expectations and tackles deeply sensitive material we can only imagine writing about. My heart hurts and wish so much love for this film.
