    the part where the main character is in bed with Jamie Lee Curtis and has to pretend to be interested in her drawings… cinema verité

    it was good but then I got to the part about how Dian Fossey waged a one-woman race war in order to defend gorillas because she thought animals were above black people and it became incredible. curtis shows how rationality as a 20th-century construct by western intellectuals has led to insane and unpredictable consequences and ultimately to the rejection of the enlightenment ideals which inspired it. a film that makes you feel bad about being a scientist, which to me is a mark of great art

    It’s alright. Above-average performances in an otherwise replacement-level espionage movie. I find it very funny that Matthew McFadden was probably filming this while doing character work for Tom Wambsgans.
