    Not at all what I was expecting. Very quirky funny weird. I recommend if you love Wes Anderson.

    Saw it alone at my local indie theatre where i'm a member. It was a Wes Anderson inspired double-bill with Moonrise Kingdom and after the films were over i got my book signed by the author cuz i'm a fkn nerd. It was a phenomenal sunday afternoon.

    Jeff Bridges is the man... but he was pretty frustrating in this.
    Lots of interesting & intellectual conversations on grief and guilt but it felt a little lost at times.

    An amazing character study!
    Although there were many touching and special moments (and funny comments from him), it was a real-time doc that unfortunately didn't have any conflict/drama/driving narrative to carry us through. Sometimes life isn't dramatic. Just....lonely?

    2nd round IMAX. This movie experience is unlike any other. The thrill and awe I felt even in a second viewing was unforgettable. I expect I will continue to watch and love this movie forever, even at home, on a laptop, etc.

    Please try to go see it at the Scotiabank IMAX screen before it's gone! Or text me and I'll join you.

    First 5 star I've given since 1917 (2019).
