    Drummer guy and Gambit girl play drums and chess when they’re bored. Nice.

    One of the movies you expect to be really mid, but turns out to be sick. This movie is incredibly well acted and amazingly shot, no surprise for a Shyamalan movie. I expected it to be kind of hollow, but the last 40 min added a lot of depth. The whole chess match at concert and the OCD aspects were really cool. Good stuff, worth a watch.

    Ed Norton was phenomenal, Oscar worthy and Oscar deserving performance. Timmy was solid (I felt like they looked identical at certain points and he nailed the voice). Don’t think that anyone could have played him much better given the story he had to work with. Singing was great, story was poor. The more I reflect, the more I feel like they really botched a cool story with such an iconic and interesting dude. His music is just so good. The search continues for a musician biopic that I really enjoy.
