any film that recognizes that john c reilly is a perfect romantic lead is good by me
This is an in-between Jacques Audiard film for me. Not to the level of Rust & Bone and The Prophet but way stronger than Dheepan. The screenplay is very dark and although plenty of head-scratchers through-out, the conclusion is emotionally satisfying. one of Jake Gyllenhaal's best performances.
Benoît Debie is one of the world's greatest living cinematographers... but goddamn does the digital stick out with this film. Not sure why it wasn't treated better in post. Or again... why a film of this budget and style wasn't shot on film is a mystery to me. Still worth seeing on the big screen. Framing, lighting, production design and locations are top notch.
Watched at Cineplex Odeon Intl. Village, Vancouver
riz [to jake]: have we met before?
me: YES ISSA NIGHTCRAWLER REUNION UP IN THIS BITCH! 🎉🍾
Looooved. Mostly because of the cast and their performances. John C. Reilly kills it. Probably gonna see again.
Check it out
Every morning I walk out of the apartment and have to cross the entrance of a heavily trafficked drive-thru Starbucks on my way to the bus stop, and rare is the instance in which I am not almost run over by some jackass pulling out a little too far into the thoroughfare to make the exit turn. I complained about this to Molly once, and she said, "Man, the system is designed to make us enemies of each other." Smart woman, I'm very lucky.
Joaquin in The Sisters Brothers + Joaquin in You Were Never Really Here = Joaquin in Joker
Chaotic, comedic, bolstered by a quintessential quartet; John, the light to Joaquin's dark; Jake the brain and Riz the heart. A pinch of Reichardt, a dash of Coen, marinated in a delicious Desplat score with brilliant writing that's sure to fly over the heads of many.
A truly delightful, touching, thrilling road trip adventure on horseback. If this doesn't reach the masses, it has the spirit to become a cult classic.
a+ to the cinnamon tography and cast but the rest didn't quite yee my haw as much as i would have liked it to
joaquin phoenix AND jake gyllenhaal AND riz ahmed all riding horses in the desert, punching & shooting each other, speaking in weird accents ??? sounds like something i’d come up with in a fever dream give it to me Now
The cast is to die for, but the narrative is so ponderous and the dialogue so stilted that it makes for a disappointingly mediocre viewing experience. Themes are doled out awkwardly and would be even more so if not for the talent of the actors. Not the worst of the year, but there's nothing particularly interesting here that warrants the runtime.
GRADE: C+
