    A really great auto-bio-fable about climbing into a literal tower of your own creations and confronting yourself at the end of your own life. An experience that surely everyone who watches this film will be able to relate to.

    I think it’s a truly remarkable achievement. I just wish that I enjoyed watching it more than I do.

    I mean it’s a masterwork. It’s both a powerful story of love and the drive to create. The sacrifices one makes while figuring it out, while trying to live. But it’s also a powerful self portrait of an artist struggling with their own legacy; wondering with what it means to try and create beauty in a world filled with despair.

    Wish this was better. Loved the idea of Anderson in this, and she shines, but the film built around her performance is a mess.

    Why is my friend Nick obsessed with movies where two characters bathe together?
