  Killing Gunther 2017

  ★★★½ Watched by Bill Reed 26 Jun 2022

  The jokes could be cleverer, but I was impressed by the filmatism. And Arnold is having fun.

  So much kinder than I expected. Similar to Nomadland in its theme and structure.

  War on Everyone 2016

  ★★★ Watched by Bill Reed 13 May 2022

  Not sure how I feel about this one. On the one hand, it's got a sub-Family Guy offensive spirit that is ostensibly ironic, but I can't quite tell if that's actually the case. On the other hand, the snappiness of the patter, propulsiveness of the editing and momentum of the plot, plus a very cool cast and a good soundtrack carry you along pretty easily.
