All-time favorite. Notes:
- IMAX sound mix is incredible, so overwhelming. Please see this in theaters!
- If I had to wedge any complaints about this, I wish Tina sang backup on "Heaven," rather than cheating with the hidden backing vocals. Still such a beautiful version.
- Love the little moments of acknowledgement between Frantz and Byrne on "Thank You For Sending Me an Angel." Tina's dance moves are just as autistic as David's frankly.
- The Phillip Glass jam…
Was definitely not ready for this in 2016 (seven fucking years ago), as this whole movie is just an onslaught of minutia. Its a process procedural, yes, but the sheer volume of data thrown at you here is just unprecedented in a mainstream American release. It’s like if The Big Sleep actually happened.
Hoffman/Redford are absolutely incredible in that they basically call no attention to themselves; the star of the show here isn’t Woodward and Bernstein but the thousands of sheets…
