    The first Swanberg I've ever seen. As a filmmaker, it's an energizing watch. Anytime you see someone making something outside of the studio system, let alone making something well, it's inspiring and hopeful and maybe made me a little jealous. As a film, it's sexy and tense and thrilling and a fucking work of genius.
    To me this felt like a man wrestling with whether the work he's done is enough to justify the strain it puts on his personal life.

    Absolutely hypnotic. I wasn't sure what it was "about" the first time I watched it. I've revisited it several times and still have unanswered questions about it. I love it.
