    remarkable in addressing the question of personhood with such a light touch. ruffalo’s and colette’s characters belong in a danny mcbride series (complimentary), pattinson rules, and the lifeworld this film creates is a terrifyingly fitting simulacrum of this particular american political moment. makes me want to see arrival again. and kind of, just a little bit, the empire strikes back.

    germane to my chosen profession. 

    this is what we watched on hulu instead of the oscar’s (thanks a lot, walt.). a really stellar job of making sam rockwell look like he got kicked in the head by a horse and then making him look progressively worse from there.  i am also predisposed to enjoy any film that features both townes van zandt and iris dement on the soundtrack. 

    the cruelty is the point until it’s not. pretty neat conceit.

    floored. five or six films live here. yet it breathes, sometimes in hot short breaths and sometimes belly-deep but breathing, always with enough space between the inhales for the brain to assess the scene before addressing the next fracas or vial or nether region or crisis.

    Watched this late at night in a hotel on HBO. Held me tight until almost 2am. What a jewelbox of a film. An assimilation story, sure, but moreso a story about failure and quixotism, but most importantly, innocence.
