I really liked this movie. I could feel the formulas working, and sometimes there were too many formulae in one given moment, but the end result is its own thing. Very good.

I’m always happy to see Laura Dern.
Yeah, I’m not a huge fan – but she was wonderful in this, wonderful in the upcoming 99 Homes, and loved her small weird bit in The Master.
