    A Different Man

    the substance coming out the same month as this  and getting all the praise is criminal. Loved this movie. It had a hell of a lot more to say and did it in a far more thoughtful way. 
    I’m sad I missed this one in theaters.

    ★★★

    The lead performance, the score, and the cinematography are great. 
    As for the rest? Fine.
     on my second watch I couldn’t help but be annoyed by how blatantly corbet plucked characters from there will be blood and the master (temu daniel plainview/peggy dodd ). It wouldn’t bother me if guy pierce or felicity jones were good in the movie.  no such luck. 
    I wish I liked it more on rewatch, but all that stuck with me the second time around…
