    Resonated with me way more this go around. The artist as a medium, interpreting spiritual data. Maureen’s haunted desire to communicate with the afterlife is less about ghosts and more about fissures of the self: she wants to be someone else/is unmoored from her own sense of self. Her unease is performative and literal - cosplaying in her boss’s clothes, and needing “to get out of Paris” - but the feeling isn’t geographic. She can travel to different countries but the questions, pauses, smoke signals come too.

    To me this was disappointing on many levels. I think my peers on here who raved about this reviewed what they wished Ferrari was. All at once I was thrown halfway into a story that never really convinced me I should care about it, with stilted writing and weird performances. Minus the racing scenes which were great but too few it felt more like a cold made for hbo tv biopic. Idk. Not my thing.
