    This movie actually played itself on my tv. I don’t know how or why, but my dad saw it playing and thought I did it. Would not be shocking if netflix is trying to inflate their views. Thus I feel responsible for reporting this abomination.

    So many wonderful little details about the artist’s experiential process, and how magnified every emotion is in the face of crushing personal defeat. Very specifically when Divine Eye walked in a circle—it’s a strange and non-linear progression, but it’s somehow parallel with his personal development. Every character struggles with Hamlet’s “to be or not to be,” and they all find meaning in art and community. None of these are original ideas, but the honesty in the characterization of these very real people is so moving on its own.

    How tragic is it that when the natives proudly say “My land,” and “My color,” it’s only when Ernest asks them about the two things he’s about to deplete.

    Believe the hype about Lily Gladstone, I was clinging to every word. This one’s a mandatory viewing.
