Honestly.... meh.
Some people say it's heartbreaking and emotional, but I found it really hard to sympathise with characters I don't care for. Obnoxious and underwhelming.
But Dafoe is good. Just found this pretty boring

Wow.. this is an absolutely incredible film. Its honestly probably one of the best films I have seen in a few years. The direction and screenplay are near perfect, the way that it uses the audience and the shifts in time and character to paint the picture of dementia is un freaking believable. Olivia Coleman is superb, but Hopkins is infallible. He 100% deserved the oscar over Boseman, even though Boseman was also fantastic. This film honestly should have won best picture over Nomadland. Im shocked it didn't. Im gonna go home and buy the play.
Everytime i watch this film it hurts. Its a genuinely moving, brutal potrayal of transphobia, with an incredible perfomance from Swank. For all the potential problems that arise from this film now, we have to take into account this film was made over 20 years ago, in a time when simply opening the public's eyes to these issues was important. Without films like this being made then, to begin the conversation, we would be even further away from the acceptance, tolerance and gender equality we are today.
