It’s as good as I’ve heard. Better. I’m a huge fan of Lynne Ramsay (#1) and also a huge fan of Joaquin Phoenix, who is in a really masterful phase of his career. No bullshit: he’s awesome. This is a great film. And see her Morvern Callar if you haven’t already.
Sounds phenomenal and your review is gorgeously written! Can’t wait to see it.
It’s so good. I was only allowed to exhale once it’s over. And it’s … funny? Too? Mainly because Ramsay is working at such a dizzying height of power and confidence. She’s doing whatever the hell she wants to do – but it’s tight as hell.
And Joaquin … can’t say enough good things!!!
Exhilarating to have the opportunity to see two artists at the peak of their skills. I love it! XOXO Stevie
In a recent interview, she called him her “soulmate.” I think they really really clicked.
Wow, that is so cool. Talk about magic. Inspiring each other, helping each other achieve their vision… That’s love, right!
It’s so great!
I’ve always loved her – a really tough person from a tough background – who doesn’t make films with easy answers or explanations. But they’re also – weirdly – crime stories too. They’re fascinating.
And Joaquin is just riveting. It’s not at all a vain performance.
You know how sometimes actor trying to “be ugly” in their roles are still doing it with a sense of vanity? “Look at me being all ugly and scraggly” Yuk.
he’s basically just beyond those concerns.
