    ★★★½

    The first time I watched this was on its release, and I wasn't too impressed.

    This time having lower standards mea t I could enjoy it more, and I did.

    It's nothing spectacular or original but it's entertaining enough to watch and has some fun moments.

    This is an actors film as Adrian Brody puts on a superb performance filled with so many different layers of pain and struggle.

    Also as a whole, the film is a bit too long, and certain plot points weren't needed to help carry the story. But they still worked.

    Also beautifully shot and in 35mm film, and not not see that plot point/ twist coming.

    Overall you watch because of the nominations but you stay for the performance.

    I had high hopes for this film as thier prior feature Mary and Max was absolutely brilliant, with wonderful Storytelling mixed with with a brilliant and unique style of claymation/ stop motion. This film continues in the same style with great adult humor and an awkward story of loneliness and growth.…
