It’s about 20 minutes too long. Second act drags on forever. The children are terrific but Dafoe really anchors the whole thing. It’s also not going to be surprising when this Sean Baker fellow gets arrested for a Hugh Grant / Eddie Murphy situation. Great flick, though. Ending got me

Sexy Beast 2000
What a bore. The random surrealism doesn’t add anything to the overall tone, just strange and unsatisfying. How a movie can be barely 90 minutes and drag on forever is beyond me. Dialogue is impenetrable. As I’m doing this i cannot even remember the main character’s name. This sucked

Mulholland Drive 2001
Sex fantasy freakout by way of Bergman, so great. The cowboy sequence is real movie magic. Wildly oscillating between terror, eroticism and slapstick. Doesn’t really get better than this
