Heavy and upsetting, but an important “based on true” story - especially during the current political climate. All around really well done. Well casted and strong acting, lots of interestingly shot scenes (characters walking toward the camera / POV like, wide lonely beach scene, fast camera moves to capture dancing in the house, etc.) I especially enjoyed the music and fashion to emulate Rio in the 70s.
There maybe were a few points where they could’ve cut down on scenes drawing out the characters feelings without dialogue, but certainly not a dealbreaker.
Oh so funny, but dark and sad. Strong performances and beautiful imagery. I think a great dive into male friendship, how you maintain relationships when you goals for life shift, and the battle between finding “purpose” and just enjoying simple pleasures.
Story takes some time to develop, but cast/ acting keeps you hooked until the thriller picks up. Some good twists and turns. Not the best writing.
