Character and plot developments are masterfully revealed. Loved learning more about these characters as the film progressed. Some great scenes, notably when Kafuku and Takatsui share a ride after getting drinks. The opening credits don’t appear until 45 minutes into the movie - an unconventional decision that reflects the unconventional casting of the Uncle Vanya play at the center of the film. Powerful movie about the many stages of grief.

The director, Leigh Whannel, holds on these shots, allowing the viewer to scan the frame, looking for any hint of the eponymous subject of the film. Elisabeth Moss gives the role her…
