hyped garbage
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
View MoreFanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
View MoreWhile it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
View MoreThere were moments when I thought this was a film about eyes as they communicate emotion. Sadness, compassion, confusion, frustration, and so on.This is a difficult subject, how to handle the physical articles - or lack thereof - of a loved one after their passing. I, my siblings, and my mother's sisters went through this with my 97 year old grandmother's effect six months ago, so my grief at her passing is still fresh. It was often agonizing. So many random moments of laughter, tears and memories. Yet, life goes on and decisions have to be made. This film is respectful of this process. Not for everyone, true, but definitely one to re-visit at those times in your life when you so-so-so need to know you aren't alone in your feelings of loss and the need to move on.
View MoreOne of the few films that have hit me so hard recently. It's as if the writers reached into my brain and heart. I had Such a visceral reaction. Excellent performances by a superior group of actors. I'd give a 20 if I could!
View MoreWhy didn't Jatherine Keener get an Oscar is really beyond me! She is such a good actresses who deserves every accolades that she can get. Especially in her roe in this film! This is a great film! It truly helps me think about the things/objects in life that we pisses. Do they have a story of just for the sake of collecting?
View MoreI love good movies. This wasn't quite one. I love great acting between seasoned and new pros. This was full of shivers. Ellen Burstyn (she still lives here) and Jon Hamm (no longer just a pretty face) at the pawn shop. Bruce Dern's pauses and smiles are still tops (the old track star's still got it). Sadly, no Dern/Burstyn scenes (since 1972?) . Hamm and James LeGros ( super good) with stupendously blowsy and full-blown Catherine Keener (who knew, when she finally let go?). Not sure about the epic preceding review but if you want to see old and new pros in action, directed with care and excellence, see this. And take as many old people as you can find. They'll put you in their wills.
